rear bearings
Ok, need a new rear tire. Since I have no idea how old the bearings are, I figured I change them at the same time. The bearing kit arrived yesterday - 2 bearings and 1 seal. Is that correct? I'm used to a bit more in a kit and want to make sure I have everything.

Re: rear bearings
That should do it. Clean and lube your splines before you reinstall the wheel with some moly lube. A toothbrush works well to apply it.Wahrsuul wrote:Ok, need a new rear tire.

Re: rear bearings
Just in case you do not know. One of the rear bearing comes out by the normal process of tapping it out, the other one, (brake side) has a snap ring that is hidden under the rubber seal that you have to remove, then remove the bearing

Re: rear bearings
Excellent, just the kid of thing I needed to know. The Nexen arrived yesterday, but I'm not sure if I'll have time this weekend to got to it.
