Didn’t freeze the bearings. The first time I did it,I did use a little anti-seize during re-assembly. The manual says clean and dry ?. I wiped what was in there with a clean rag and smeared a drop of light oil on the new ones to aid in reassembly. This is the third set of bearings in 40k miles, I don’t think I will do this in another 20k when I need tires again.
I thought the spotting on the lower front fork tubes might just be a little brake material, so I hit them with a little light rubbing compound, went right thru the clear coat At least they’re shiny again. Did the wheels with White Diamond, almost done with them , just a little more tomorrow.

 

The last time I did this job I got the bearings from Direct Cycle Parts, don’t remember which brand of bearings they were selling. This time I used OEM parts. I had a couple hundred dollars in Harley card points. They changed the color of the antilock incoder bearing, the tan side is supposed to face out , now there is no tan side, the factory are idiots ! What good does it do to have a manual if the new parts don’t match the description?.

 

Everyone but me must be getting layed

 

Not I either.

 

Morning, morning Woods. Storms rolled through last night with a bunch of rain. Headed for the airport this morning to fly to Houston and tomorrow to Costa Rica if their Ministry of Health is good with it.

 

Mornin, Woods, Woodettes and lurkers. Enjoy....
