In this completely free tutorial video, we show you how to change the sealed rear wheel bearings on your Harley Davidson motorcycle. (see video below)
You'll need to remove your rear wheel for this project and we have you covered with a free Harley rear wheel removal video.

Some riders say they change their Harley rear wheel bearings at every tire change for good measure, however, Harley only recommends you inspect the wheel bearings at each tire change and replace them as necessary. We'll show you how to properly inspect your wheel bearings to see if they need to be changed.

In this video, we changed the rear wheel bearings on my 2014 Harley Street Glide Special, and I had 40,000 miles on them before they needed replacement. The front wheel bearings also had 40,000 miles on them but were still fine after inspection. The life of Harley rear wheel bearings can vary greatly. I know some riders that have 100,000 miles on a set of bearings but I'd strongly suggest changing them prior to that even in the inspection goes well. They will fail at some point.

Using JIMS Tool
You'll need a JIMS Sealed Wheel Bearing Remover and Installer Kit to properly remove and install rear Harley wheel bearings. We also suggest these Harley wheel bearings for replacement. And a Titan Motorcycle Lift and mini jack from our store will certainly make things easier, but not necessary. All these items are available right in the Law Abiding Biker Store.
And although we did this project on a Harley touring model, the video is just as valuable for a non-touring model. The only difference is that on a touring model, you have 4 wheel bearings, two inside the final drive belt sprocket and two in the rear wheel. And, one is an ABS-specific bearing if you have a model with ABS. Your non-touring Harley will only have two bearings in the rear wheel and one may or may not be an ABS bearing, depending on your year and model.
LISTEN TO THE LAW ABIDING BIKER PODCAST!
We show you everything you need to know about Harley rear wheel bearing inspection and replacement for any year and model and regardless of whether you have a model with or without ABS.
We'll also be doing a very detailed Harley front wheel bearing change video, so make sure you're subscribed to our YouTube Channel and turn on notifications so you know when we released that video and many others.
