How to rebuild a Honda ATV front differential

Video explaining how to rebuild the front differential in a 1995 Honda Foreman 400. This process should be similar for many Honda ATV's

"I'm sure there's a better way to do this. I just don't know what it is?" I just loved that phrase. Famous honest humble words from Andrew.

I really respect someone who freely admits their mistakes, especially without making excuses. Asking for help/advice is good too. All of this on video takes a lot of humility. Thanks for a great video, Andrew.

You gave me hope of getting my 05 Honda Recon 250's rear differential back together. I did it all by myself with no hassle and even made my own special tool for the big pinion nut

Lol, i can almost see the paper he is reading from in this video. Been binge watching Andrews videos lately, so much more enjoyable than the crap on tv these days.

Hey Andrew! Michigan Mechanic Tip Brewed in NJ. This is how I've avoided buying fancy Internal Bearing Pullers..
Deep Creep by Seafoam First, Better than WD-40, PB Blaster, and Liquid Wrench put together. Its 13$ a can, but WORTH IT.
1) Tap a lag anchor shield that fits in the I.D of the bearing in with a hammer
2) Tighten the associated bolt into the anchor, and spread anchor inside bearing (NO IMPACT you will stretch the case)
3) Give it a little torch love if you have it first, and pry it out with a pickle fork
I Hope someone reads this and this helped anyone. Thanks for your awesome videos Andrew!

[Rubbernecker]

Nice! I love the way this dude bangs on shit! Glad I'm not the only one!

[organichemone]

I usually use sockets and threaded rod to push or pull bearings in or out. Keep the videos coming!

Great video. Very entertaining. It's fun to watch someone work through a problem. im a mechanic and when sharing info about jobs, what not to do is usually the first and most important info being shared.

Straight genius using that angle iron as a tool 👌👌👏

[javierdelosreyes]

MAN I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE DOING CUZ I'M NOT AUTO MECHANIC BUT I SURVIVED TO FINISHED WATCHING YOUR VIDEO

[eby]

You are hilarious and bring new meaning to Just do it.
Dispite any mistakes you make you still get more done than anyone I know

[dnixondn]

watched 30 of your vids over the weekend great stuff Andrew..

[MrSchijtzooi]

Your discovery of the special tool is great. Love your videos.

[nomadchad]

I love the voice overs, Im thinking of getting a quad for down at camp. Something to take the kids out for a rip on. You've widened my search to 20 year old quads because parts are still available. that disk brake kit is pretty slick too. I'm thinking Yamaha/Honda 400ish.

Sometimes you can force the pinion cage bearing out with hydraulic pressure .
Find a piece of round stock or a punch slightly smaller that the ID of the bearing, ( same size as the male part of the pinion shaft ) wrap some Teflon tape to form a seal of sorts .
Fill cavity with grease and usually a few taps will force the old bearing up & out of the case .

[morgansword]

Now that is something I can get my head around. Very good my main man. I would never of guessed that angle iron for a tool and that made me smile. You never stop thinking do you. I found a way to see all of your videos and should get caught up in about a month or less cause Iwatch you a lot. I have made friends with a lot of youtube people and hope that you will be kind enough to allow me as a friend... I don't mean go have coffee or something, just this chat box. Thank you for your time

[johnschlutz]

its fathers day and this video was perfect...thanks

This man don't have time to wait for a part to come in, hell he just makes him one.. His thought is someone put it together, and i can take it apart, just half to use a bigger hammer that's all.. He don't use grease to help set the bearing, just bang it in . I LOVE IT, NIce job
