So i got the kit for the rear wheel bearings and installed them.. only one of three were not good but that is what the 'wiggle' in my rear tire was doing.. so i changed all 3 out but i was wondering that maybe the front needs to be changed??? do the bearings get bad w/ alot of weight on that back tire or just from wear/tear....??? or maybe potholes? or a friends ****ty driveway?

 

wiggle==== movement in the rear tire.. left to right movement.. not much at all but a major problem

 

I alsways change back and front bearing together. They are dirt cheap anyway.

 

+1 on what land_warrior.rus said. Easy and cheep to replace. Then you don't have to think about it anymore.

 

i jus replaced mine in front, rear and swingarm....then did front AGAIN a week later cuz the bearings fell apart on me

 

Wow b.haley. What happened ? Any pictures of them ?

 

I agree!!! How did the bearings only last a week?!?

 

no pics but the outside metal seal around the bearings were destroyed, and i had ballbearings fall into my hand when i pulled the wheel off.....dam oem honda bearings

 

Man, that's crazy! I'd be going for a refund if I were you. I'm surprised that there were metal seals on the sides of the bearings. All the ones I've seen have had rubber seals (I'm not talking about the dust seals that you put on after installing the bearings) on the sides. If the bearings fell out, then the cage must have fallen apart. There had to be something wrong with them from the start. You couldn't have used them that hard in a week to do that kind of damage. What method did you use to install them in the wheel ?

 

i had a motorcycle shop press them in...BUT i jus had another one go bad again...and this time i had a different shop install them thinkin maybe the first placed ****ed up somehow, this ****s finally gettin to me
