Default Re: Question for those who have changed rear wheel bearing

Thanks. There doesn't seem to be much info out there from guys who have changed a bearing. The manual says to remove the hub for slip in axles, but is worded as though you don't need to when reassembling. However, I don't see that there's enough collapse in the axle to push it back out of the hub to change the bearing. When I first started digging into this all I had was the 2004 manual which describes the bolt in axles. Had I known that I would have to pull the hub, I wouldn't have bothered with the special tool 9199. Just pull it out, take it over to the press, find something that fits. But, oh well. So, sounds like I should be able to remove the hub without affecting the alignment.

I'll be sure to take lots of pix. Sounds like we could use a write up on this.

Thanks!
