    How to select main bearing and connecting rod shell sizes

    Hi, I am trying to find the correct thicknesses for connecting rod and crankshaft main bearing shells but ran into an issue. For crankshaft main bearings you need the markings on the crankshaft and the outside of the engine block. The first one no problem, the engine mount where the numbers...

    FYI Rear wheel bearing removal

    Just thought I'd share how I got the rear bearings out. I'll skip over how I got the first set of bearings out as you get those out the same way you get the ones out of the front wheel (less than 5 minutes for that). I first destroyed the cage and removes the needle bearings leaving just the...

    not the typical steering head bearing question

    so it seems that i'm retorquing the bearings a lot like every 500 miles--this doesn't seem right to me. idk how many miles it should be in general, but 500 seems problematic. i'm being realistic and not dreaming of never having to revisit the steering head bearings, but hold long should one...

    steering head bearing removal

    Hello After the better part of a day I finally got the upper bearing races removed. The lower races, however, look even more stubborn. There is no lip at all to drive it out with a long screwdriver from above. One suggestion was to weld a bead directly onto it and use that to drive it out...
