Andy 3i Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 No, they are press fitted bearings...which means you need a press to remove and install them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawdreamer Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 No, they are press fitted bearings...which means you need a press to remove and install them the correct way is to whip off the bearing carrier(hub) and take it down a local garage were theyll push the old bearings out and press in some newuns (you can save some time and possibly money by knocking out the olduns out yourself with a solid straight screwdriver and a lump hammer but you risk damaging the bearing seat walls on the carrier so Id advise against) the quick easy way is to nip the local scrappers, then you just wonder about testing a few scrapper wheels until you find a solid bearing then simply whip of the entire carrier (hub) on the scrapper and replace your own with it.... takes about 20mins- half an hour and you suffer minimal off the road fuss. newuns are better, but if time and urgency are a factor then a quick trip the scrappers is the way to go.
