Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement

Follow-up question

Follow-up question: Where you call for three O-rings 15IDx3mm, I can only find two of them in the BRP on-line parts catalog (two of that type, one of the other type, three total O-rings) What am I missing?

Sorry, I don't recall - maybe it's just 2 and I mistakenly typed 3 - you'll see when you dismantle. By the way, I used Loctite 680 and primer when installing the large pulley bearing as there is about 0.5mm movement against the circlip. I'm pretty sure that the clicking noise I heard was the bearing moving within that space as it's a slip fit in the pulley. Others have described the noise elsewhere here.
 
Resurrecting an old thread...
Spyder needs a new rear tire and it has 23K miles. I also need an oil change and I was going to order the filter, crush washer, and whatever bearings I need from our new sponsor, Honda East Toledo.

Should I go ahead and do the wheel bearings at 24K? How much money roughly for the part(s)? What parts would I need to order?

Thanks in advance,
David
 
I should have read the manual and had mine done at time the rear tire was installed but didn't, so my question is; does these bearings give some "warning" noise, or other indication, before they fail entirely? Its not something I could do and its gonna be a long time before another rear tire is needed. I have nearly 17K on the RT, and 6K on the tire.

Is there a cross for American made bearings?

I've read this whole thread which started way back, but didn't see any ref to U.S. made bearings. Has anyone come up with anything they can share? I'd like to get a full set, with seals, for sprocket and wheel and have them on hand.
 
OK, here's what I've got.....

Hopefully since your Spyder should be running the lower belt tension , you won't have any troubles. Many times you can hear bearing noise when they go bad. I could hear mine go bad once and things just didn't 'feel' right. The other time I had the sprocket bearing spinning -- which you could hear. Was a bit hard to hear over my exhaust, but one of my HD buddies noticed the noise from behind. Pulling in clutch, killing the engine and coasting I could hear it too. Had to peen things up to get a new bearing to seat well again.

Your dealer dropped the ball by not replacing them at 17,000 miles.

I looked extensively for other bearings and didn't come up with much.. and what I did find was WAY more expensive... and still made in China for the most part.

With the new lower belt tensions, I wouldn't be as concerned... but I change my bearings every OTHER rear tire change... so around every 16,000 miles.
 
Thanks Bill for the part nrs; will see if I can locate them locally as theres shops around that specialize in bearings. I want to get a set and have them on hand, just in case.
It will give me something to do, and if I can't find them I'll go online.


And Firefly...thanks for info and advice. If I'd paid more attention to my manual I'd have known it called for replacements and could have had it done with tire change.

We have China tires on the Spyder now so I'm not sure we don't have China bearings too. I have stock and these coming so I'll let you know.

The BRP bearings are made in the USA. BRP switched over in 2009. All models use the same part numbers.
 
Thanks Walt, thats good to know. Saves me trucking around to find them. Any idea what US company makes them? Just curious.
 
I just had a stock rear tire and all rear wheel bearings replaced at the dealer and it cost me $402.00...Since I didn't want to tackle this myself,due to health reasons,I didn't think this was too bad..Anyone else have a price of their dealer doing the same to compare?? :dontknow:
This also included $26.00 to adjust parking brake,so tire and bearing job was app $375.00....parts,tax and labor...Think thats pretty good and also great service from Holzauer Motor sports in Nashville,Illinois...And ,no,i do not work there!!!
