Front end bearings

[MHOBEN]

What kind of job is it to replace front end wheel bearings on a 200m. I have never done it before.

pretty easy go for it

make sure you have a 16 inch knockout rod, to reach through the hub to hammer out the old bearings. it has to be smaller than the axle. before reassembly, remove all the rust from the inside of the axle hub or the the new bearings will fail prematurally. make sure not to hit the new bearings any where but the outside race {light taps should be sufficient} when installing. always use new dust seals even if the bearings have them built in.;)

Itr can be a hard job if every thing is rusted to the axle bolt.

i cant get my bearings out seems that they are rusted to the hub. any ideas how to get them out

you have to beat the crap out of them to get them out. you will destroy them but no matter. try not to hit the housing.

I have a piece of 1/2 in rebar with the end ground down smooth that I use to beat the bearings out.
