This thread make me think of The Canadian’s Trance, and how he just knew not to force the bearings himself...even though he is a pro-level Beemer mechanic.
Buyer beware YT customer service

Like... the 26th-ish? Because that would be lovely. I've never had the Brisket of the Tribe.
Yeah same... and then how the mechanic fucked it up even knowing how it should come out and using the actual proper tool. And then how the mechanic took personal responsibility for that, and the shop got him a new link.

As soon as it's back together I'll take whatever I can get for it so you're the highest bidder right now
What's your beef? And is its paint flaking?
Don’t be getting saucy on us.
I'm just hoping that @rideit cooks me up some Yummy Thews when I'm up in Jackson next weekend.
The real question: Will this thread get to be longer than the OG Nemesis Project/Bradford Hodges thread?
And here all this time I was under the impression he had in fact tried it now when clearly he had not.
Fail.
I think he's actually referring to this...regardless of what any diagram says or doesn't say, how could you be so stupid as to look at this and think the bearings press in from the same side? your ignorance is some truly next level shit...
Not the correct part budregardless of what any diagram says or doesn't say, how could you be so stupid as to look at this and think the bearings press in from the same side? your ignorance is some truly next level shit...
I have nothing constructive to add to this thread, but this may be the funniest instructional video I've seen in a long time!!!!
he hasn't threatened to sue anybody yet!
Part 27, the "Distance Spacer"...does that nest between the bearings, with an OD less than the web ID on the frame?
No such info given and no way to measure it without removal. I made an incorrect assumption from the drawings that there was a lip preventing hardware from going out through the inside of the SS. I don't think this is unfair to assume based on the drawing
Yup.... Like I said before, it's tricky the first time around. To his point, the diagram is not very helpful at all.
Furthermore, if you think about it, makes it more confusing as that distance spacer does nothing as the bearings seat up against the inner lip from both sides. I still have no idea what that spacer is really for.
Only place I have to work on the bike at the moment. (Working outside is not an option right now)
I seriously do not understand how this keeps coming up. These diagrams are perfectly fine for bearing removal IF they are done properly
Sure they are, if they are done right.
i seriously don't understand why you posted this on every bike forum you could find (i've now seen it on at least 4). people are either already aware YT has issues, or don't care.
for very simple assemblies, sure.
Bruh....this is simple.
and yet OP still had issues
my bad, i thought that was the seatstay.
Because the drawing is wrong....what part of this are you missing
now i'm really confused, that certainly isn't the seatstay...
All they needed to do was move one bearing and cap to the inside of the chain stay and show the exploded line going in as such. Extremely simple change to make it correct.
That was in response to people saying double bearings always come out from opposite sides. These came out the same side
i just don't care. i'm only here to make sure you become an alcoholic like the rest of us
who needs an assembly drawing to remove a bearing?
That is the lower pivot in the front triangle. I think he was just showing that to show how two bearings being pressed in or out from the same side wasn't unexpected.
to be fair it may have been one of those things where they used the CAD software's autogenerated exploded diagram. which is the kind of lazy thing i'd do if i worked in the bike industry.
Look at it this way:
1) there are two bearings in there.
2) there is a spacer that supposedly butts against both bearings to space them properly
3) there is a lip in the frame that you cannot see that contradicts previous spacer.
4) if two bearings and spacer were all there was, the assembly could be pressed in from either side
5) the diagram, if one assumes is accurate displays situation 4
I thought you had a technical background?
That's what I was thinking. Either eliminate the web and use a spacer, or eliminate the spacer and use the web for locating. I can't see why both are necessary, seems odd.
