X challenge wheel bearings

[Robbo1961]

I think it's called the Cush bearing does the steel insert come out or is it part of the bearing,
Also when you purchase the bearings do they come with seals part of of a kit ?

Thanks

The 'insert' is separate and seals need to be ordered unless with a bearing 'kit'

 

[Robbo1961]

Ahh that's what I thought its strange the insert turns no problem but just doesn't want to come out!!, I wondered about the seals I've looked on wemoto site and could not work out which ones I need, do you know of anywhere that would be able to supply the bearing kit ?

Thanks in advance

The insert will be tight!

I get my bearings and seals from a local supplier.

I'm unsure of the quality but here's a kit

That doesn't include the sprocket carrier bearings you've shown, but they may well be the same size as your wheel bearings eg. 6205 ?

 

[Robbo1961]

Thanks Tim, il try and persuade the insert out, this is turning into a baptism of fire!!
I originally thought how hard can this be, I've now realised I'm mechanically inept .

 

[Timolgra]

Use a socket to either push the insert out with a vice and a big socket to receive the insert or a if pushed and you don't have a vice you could use a mallet on the socket

 

[Robbo1961]

Vice idea brilliant, why didn't I think of that !!! Thanks a lot

My last set I got from here, Marksman Industrial; they have a motorcycle bearing thread going.

The rear set will include the wheel bearings, wheel bearing seal, drive hub bearings etc

The front set includes 2 bearings and 2 seals, and their pack works out cheaper than buying them seperately.

That's good GFJ, they knock kits out per bike per wheel configuration.....fair play. And a good price too.
I was using http://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/ where I was buying the selecting the seals and bearing as seperate items to make my own service kit up.
These companies can supply bearings and seals to do both wheels at a fraction of the price of OEM parts.....

No difference, these bikes had a limited production run but took some time to sell. My bike is on a 58 plate and they fit fine.
