does anyone know how the hell to get piggin front/rear bearings out of a txt 03 can t get in to knock em out cos of sleeve inside the hub.av put me new uns in fridge ready cheers blok

Hi,to remove the bearings on my bike I used an M10 RAWL bolt.the type used for heavy duty fixing in walls,get a bolt,a lenght of 10mm stud about 1ft will do and something heavy with a 10mm hole in to act as a slide hammer.Place the RAWL bolt in the spacer or bearing,tighten up the nut which you should have on the stud against the RAWL bolt causing it to expand,slide on your heavy bit onto the stud,stick a nut on the end of the stud and hammer away.mine came out a treat.....Patent pending on idea.

Hi

The way i do it is- Get a punch or old screwdriver and hit the spacer over 1/4 inch then flip the wheel over and hit on the lip you,ve just made and out pops the bearings.There is a small lip/groove on both ends of the spacer - file off one of them when you re-install it - it makes it easier next time, but remember/ or mark which way you put the filed end.Cheers

ok fellas thanks alot will av a bodge about at em. might try some heat on hub first aswell

Hi

No need for heat,they pop out easily - You might want to prise off both rubber seals and re-pack with good quality waterproof grease.Cheers
