REAR WHEEL BEARINGS

RE: REAR WHEEL BEARINGS
Not too difficult
Remove rear wheel
Remove sprocket
There are THREE bearings ,2 wheel and one large sprocket carrier bearing.
They look like this :see pic
See works manual for guidelines.
Bearing numbers on the www.mrcycles.com website, but buy them at your local bearing shop.
A tip from another member : Put the new bearings in the fridge/freezer overnight, and they'll fall in quite easily. If you need more, PM me.

3 bearings, 1 bigger than the other, perfect for a Ball-bearing trolley.
Where I was brought up, it was hilly, and all of us kids had homemade Ball-bearing trolleys. Go screaming down the footpath, and do spin-out's at the bottom.
Can't find a picture, but they were just a square plank of wood for the seat, a strip of wood for the back axel with the two smaller bearing, a strip of wood at the front for handlebars, big bearing in the middle, a couple of bits of wood to chock the front bearing up under the front of the seat board and a centre bolt to provide steering. No rubber just metal bearing to pavement. Awesome, noisy, no brakes and no traction.

Thanks TMAX, but no, not a mechanic - When you live in a country where, if you approach the Honda agents, and tell them the model, you get a blank stare, you have to source the parts yourself. And no, I have had to do some work on the bike -regular oil, filters and plugs, camchains, reg/rec's, wheel bearings, fix a tank leak etc, but not really that much in nearly 80,000 Km's.And nearly 19 years.
And Luis - 'If you want fries with that, sir, the postage will be extra'......
Let's just hope Daniel can fix his wobble, now.
