Removing front wheel bearing: By richardthescooter3 (Read 821 times)

Going to work yesterday I notice a thumbing and scraping, (yup, front bearing going bad ) took wheel off last night, but can't get bears out, there seems to be a spacer in side so it hard to hammer them, though can move spacer to the side some what. Any ideas

use a 1/4 extention 6" long move the spacer to the side and tap around it they will come out with little trouble

Got them out Now can I buy them at local bearing store?

Try NAPA or other auto repair parts store. If they are both the same take one with you, if different take both with you, to the store and they should have a cross reference listing that will tell you what options you have available in different brands. They could likely measure the outside and inside measurements too, if no part number and brand on the bearing.

Hey Bob try some local places one had some size but different opening but the spacer would go through it one place could get them but $17.00 each. I order them at monster scooter .com $10.56 two bearings and shipped

for a 50cc scoot, chinese bearings will be ok.
A 250+cc scoot is a large machine, which you will want some quality stuff installed on.
