This is an extremely useful video. Thank you very much

Great video! What size crank puller is needed? I thought it was a CP22 but it's way too small

How can I check if the bearing is the issue or not? My pedals are giving 0 resistance but when I opened it up all belts look in place and when I turn either wheel it engages the other as well as the pedals.

What is the name of the specific crank axle seen in this video?

[scooterdoob]

Great video and very nicely done! Any recommendations on bearings for better longevity? Rubber seal vs metal seal; bearing style; etc. Or is just matching the size good enough for this application? (My bike is used for cycling classes, so there’s the stress of frequent standing on the axel.) thank you!

Hey I got the exact same bike. VR25 Nordictrack. I have a rhythmic grinding in the right peddle with the occasional squeak. Belt does not feel like it is slipping. I believe it is the same bearings you have replaced in your informative video here. What size are those bearings and where would I get them? Any thoughts....

Is there a toolkit you can recommend that would have the tools you referenced / used here?

Great video. I too have a bearing problem. After 3 years the bike is in excellent shape except for a clicking sound which can be felt in the pedals. The tech says it's the bearing. Walmart wants to buy me a new bike as this is under warranty. I think that's a terrible waste so I want to try this repair. If Pardigm can sell me the bearing and before I tear into my Exerpeutic 1111.9-100118 recumbent bike do you feel that this video applies to my bike?

Hi there I found the video really useful. I have a roger black magnetic exercise bike. it was clicking for a while .but whilst peddling it it came to a holt .I could still turn the peddles but a certain point it becomes very resistant, also the same when I unplugged the bike. is this bearings ? any help would be great

[jeffguidry]

Great Video! Can you tell me what kind of tool you used to remove the pin that holds the bearings in place?

Hello Fitness Equipment Help. I have a Pro-Form 4.0 bike. The belt has been replaced and is adjusted to max tightness. When the pedals are cranked, the belt slips around the pully for the flywheel so the flywheel does not spin regardless of what resistance setting the bike is on. Can you help? Thank you!

I have a NordicTrack Grand Tour Pro which needs to have the bearings replaced.  Would this be a similar process as shown in this video or this a different process.  thank you

Hello +Fitness Equipment Help, do you know how to replace a crank for a Stationary bike? The arms are soldered into the crank. Where can I find a suitable replacement part? My bike's brand is HD Fitness, I googled for it but I still can't find a website or some useful info. Thank you.

I have a Nordic Track Gx4.2 stationary bike and lately when I push down with the right pedal it makes a grinding noise. Any ideas what could be causing the problem?

Use a hot air gun to heat up the hub and a duster to cool the bearing
