Am going to replace the wheel bearings all around on the RGL for peace of mind. am wondering if there is any trick to removing and installing the rear sprocket bearings? Is there any special tool needed or will the pit posse puller work ok? the factory service manual is very vague on the description.

 

What have I missed about the OEM wheel bearings, why you swapping them out?

 

have 9k miles on the bike, bought a set of better quality bearings, had on fail on the low rider at 23k.

 

Put bearings in freezer causes the metal to shrink slightly, some heat up the hub to expand the metal and lightly tap in.

 

am looking on replacing the sprocket bearings. have a pit posse to remove the wheel bearings, am wondering about if will work on the sprocket bearings as the sprocket has two bearings.

 

I think your best bit is a hydraulic press for that.

 

Make sure you press on correct ring. wrong and you will f--- the bearings.
