hey guys good to see you again I figured I'd give you a little update on how the
cr250 build is coming along as you could probably guess the majority of the bike
is taken apart and cleaned up at this point
got the frame swingarm and subframe looking fresh
I've been full of plastics some smaller parts over here in these boxes and up on
the table got some stuff torn apart suspension is completely disassembled
along with the engine definitely got my work cut out for me
and so the last thing to take apart are these wheels and that's what I'll be
working on today got a dismount the tires and bring these things all the way
down to the spokes and hub the biggest reason why I'm tearing these wheels down
is because both rims are bent not looking too good besides that there's a
bunch of cool things I want to do to these instead of going out and buying a
pre-built wheel set with anodized hubs and black rims I'm just gonna build a
cool-looking set for myself before I pull these tires off I'm gonna remove
the rotors and sprocket
I've got the sprocket and rotors off the wheels now next up is dismounting the
tires since I won't be using the sprocket I might as well give it away to
one you guys right all you have to do is go comment on my latest Instagram post
with this sprocket in the picture you know what this thing is kind of dirty
give me a second and I'll get it all cleaned up before I ship it out to one
of you guys
I might just keep the sprocket for myself thing is looking new all over
again so go find me on instagram at cameron Imola and go comment on that
post I'm just gonna pick a random comment and ship the sprocket out to you
well let's get down to business on these tires
luckily half the front tire is already off so this one is going to be a piece
of cake
pulling apart the wheels is pretty straightforward all the spoke nipples
have a hex head on the inside of the rim so I'm just going to use the impact
driver to rip this thing apart this is a very common issue where the spoke and
nipple are seized on to each other so what I'm gonna do about this is lock a
set of vise grips onto the spoke so that way it can hold it
honestly I should have just cut all the spokes since the majority of morsi's
door stripped it took forever to take this wheel apart after a seeing the bend
in this rim it got me thinking how much impact does it really take to bend her
in well I'm gonna test that out
I am quite surprised this is where I was whacking on the rim with the
sledgehammer and all that happened was this crack the rim didn't actually Bend
at all so when you see a Bend like this one here that takes a ton of force being
applied to the rim so I got this idea of mashing on a rim from my brother Devin
if you all see his version of it click the box right up here in the corner now
I've got to take apart the front wheel and hopefully these folks are not seized
up if they are I'm just gonna cut this thing apart
thankfully no the spokes on the front wheel were seized up
so disassembly went pretty smoothly but out of this wheel set I have two bent
rims and a bunch of junk spokes on the rear but really all I needed were the
hubs so the last step with these is to pull off the bearings since I will be
replacing those to pull out these bearings I'll be using a blind bearing
polar set and the nut on the rear hub this one right here requires the use of
the special tool I'll put the links to where you can find these tools down in
the description before pulling the nut off the rear hub I've got to drill these
two pin marks these are holding nut in place
bearings are now out and you guys know me I cannot stand to see grimy parts
like this so I'm gonna run these things through the parts washer and get them
freshened up
not a bad look inside the hubs I'm still undecided on what I'm gonna do with
these so I might powder coat to myself send them off to have them coated or
possibly even have them turned to be honest I'm kind of leaning towards
powder coating them myself thank you so much for watching guys
I truly appreciate it and don't forget to go enter the giveaway for the
sprocket over on Instagram on that note it is time to say goodbye
