simply search by size and choose the quality you want - crap = cheap, decent = not as cheap

OK. Think I have found a place for the bearings(cheers Steve). Now how do you get the old ones out ? Looking inside their isnt a lip or anything to get a screwdriver on and whack em. Do i need a puller ? Most youtube clips are saying push the centre space out of the way to get onto the bearing, but i cant push the space anywhere out of the way. :(

Thanks

Get a big screwdriver and lever the spacer over to one side, then you'll need a piece of bar or tubing to knock the bearings out!

simples!

I wonder if this thread is going to be as long as all the other ones............... :lol:

Get a blowlamp and heat the surrounding area, the bearing will come out much easier once the area its in has expanded, wheels are easy, swingarms a different matter they are a bitch

Sometimes you have to tap the spacer. Then use a drift. I use a old knackered 3/8" drive extension bar. Share the tapping of the bearing. Make it equal or u could damage the wheel. Don't be to RAM headed
