Hello all.

Just a quicky, i need to change the bearings on my front hub. I know they are 6805 alreadyz.

Could someone explain how to get into the hub before i hamfistedly give it a shot tomorrow?

and what tools am i going to be needing?

Cheers in advance!

Getting bearings out doesn't take much finesse. Pressing them back in is where you need to be careful.

If there is an aluminum axle inserted through the bearing, tap on one end of that. It should push the opposite bearing out.

If there is only a tube spacer between the bearings, push it aside and tap on the inner race of the opposite bearing. Be sure to hit points all around the race so it comes out evenly. It'll never come out cock-eyed.

Don't tap on anything aluminum with a metal implement. Use a block of wood or a rubber mallet as a buffer.
