00:00Let's get watches off, gloves on, and dive into this thing. What do you think?

00:03Let's do it.

00:04First things first, we've got a little cotter pin that needs pulled.

00:08One thing about working on old bikes is everything's old.

00:10Pretty corroded and crusty.

00:12Oh, come on.

00:13Hey, there we go. Now it's off.

00:14Throw that on the ground so we can pop a tire with it later.

00:1722 millimeter impact socket and big yellow.

00:19Then we're just gonna break the axle nut loose.

00:23Axle is held in place with a couple of pinch bolts.

00:26These shouldn't be torqued super tight.

00:27Remember when I said these didn't need to be super tight?

00:30That's probably too tight.

00:31It is your front wheel.

00:32Get the compulsion to just make these horse tight.

00:35But the thing that's holding the front wheel on is the axle nut on the other side.

00:39These are literally just pinching the axle so that it doesn't rotate and try to loosen the bolt on the other side.

00:44All right, so that's out.

00:46Ah, like butter.

00:47That fender washer that just fell out of there is not a stock Yamaha piece.

00:51That's a Ace Hardware piece.

00:53Maybe not advisable, but it's what's here.

00:54Pro tip.

00:55And if you want people to tell you you look dumb on the internet, try and restore an old dirt bike.

01:00It works wonders.

01:01It's my treatise on YouTube comment.
