Hi, just got a "new to me" (used) Pig Pro and the bottom sealed bearing feels alittle rough and i want to clean and re-pack it.
the problem is i can't get the bearing out of the bottom cup,
are they pressed in or am i not trying hard enough?
thanks,
chris

I thought the dh pro was a cartridge bearing, I never knew you could repack those.

just pop the seals out with a pick blow them out w/ compressed air and then fill-em with grease.
i used to do the same thing with my skate-board bearings and put phil wood grease in them to make them quieter...
thanks

Learn something new everyday.

the lower bearing on the headset will come out but with force. theyuse a glue as a filler around the bearing to insure a really tight fit.

thanks,
i will try this weekend to force it out...
maybe soak it in some degreaser, before-hand.
