Front Bearing Removal, Hot Dogs + Icecubes

[noakira]

Top Tip Alert.

Easy front bearing removal, 5 mins max !

- Prize out both rubber weather seals

- Leave wheel on front dash of car for a couple of hours, importantly windows must be wound up ! I know its cruel but its crucial for the success of this tip. Must also be blisteringly hot day.

- Lay wheel flat and place Icecube directly onto face of bearing. Whilst the icecube melts spray penetrating oil around the edge of the ice cube (as illustrated)

- Using long 1/2 extension bar with sharp edge drive out the opposite bearings. Will come out within 2 sharp taps with a hammer using this method. Ta Da !



Bearings plus internal spacer tube.



All done and dusted in the time it takes to drink a cup'a tea !



My spare pair of wheels are being Repsol Orange'd tomorrow (Ral 2003) powder coated.

If the bearings are left in the grease bleeds out all over your nice new wheels !

I also like the Repsol Orange, are you doing the full color scheme, like the bike in our custom section?

No no - subtle and classy - I've always liked the gun metal grey Revere, so i'm thinking about an Orange / Grey combo.

Something like the Aprilia moto 6.5 maybe, even though you can look a bit geh on it......



It's meant to be as close to the Repsol colour as your'll get for the money. Also a Lacquer coat on the wheel.

Hopefully they are going to turn out sweet

Also got the frame going in early next week for a Pan Silver 75?? powder coat

Will be interesting to see how they all turn out. All for the price of one months installment on a new bike.
