If you're replacing the bearing, just knock the bearing out from the back of the carrier and it will push the seal out.

Just did mine this afternoon

Cheers, SB

Do those bearing make a bit of a whirring noise when they go?

My bike seems to make a noise at certain speeds, but I can't pinpoint it.

no never had that but to pinpoint it check brakes arent stuck slightly then just check all your bearings move easily.

i only changed mine due to a race bike build every bearing has been changed
