front wheel bearings on a 90
« on: August 24, 2005, 21:33:44 »
Right can I change these myself as mine seem to be on the way out or is it something best left to garage to do?

I know the beraings are about £6 a piece but dont fancy having to fork out the extra cash for fitting etc if dont need to.

I did them on my 110 a while back, it isn’t a hard job, and the hardest part is removing the bearing tracks from the hub. Did both sides in an afternoon.

 Guy110 is the expert on wheel bearings I hear

Yeah, do it yourself.

You need to be methdoical and clean and it isn't a horrible job to do.

As well as the bearings, you will need to get (for each side) a drive flange gasket, a lock washer, inner and outer hub oil seals.

It's also well worth investing in a hub nut spanner.  (only about £5.50)

Give a shout if you need to know where to look for bits.

If you want to get a better idea of the work involved I have some instructions  that I did when I did mine. Just PM me with your email address if you want them.

Matthew,

You could always copy & paste them into the workshop library ;-)
