Trying to remove a bearing from a bandit6 wheel to get it on mine.

Problem is that the bearing just does not budge at all.

Tried tapping it all the way around without any success. Is it just the bearings being annoying? I dont want to keep the bearings anyway.

Any tips to remove bearings.

Ahh, dont worey, i got it done in the end. A bit of brute force did it.

I found out that the impact on the rear wheel was so strong that the spindle got bent by a couple of deg. So new spindle & chain adjusters.

When changing the rear wheel bearings is it best to do all 3 or just the 2 on the wheel hub?

Where is the best plate to get them?

Do all three, don't buy the bearings from a suzuki dealer go to a bearing factor - much less dinari.

I'd do all 3 just for peace of mind... Myself, I got them from my dealer because I couldn't find a local bearing factor, and they could supply Koyo ones at a fair price- slightly more expensive than a factor, but once you include postage the difference was minimal.

I found this co on the net.
http://www.bikebearings.co.uk/prod01.htm

They quoted about abt £3ea for the inner bearings and abt £7 for the sprocket carrier bearing + P&P of abt £5.

Not sure of the make of the bearings though.

Ring him to order and make sure you specify you want the RUBBER double sealed ones.

They have the same bearing listed for the wheel hub, what about the one for the sprocket carrier?

Did you ring them up?

Right , all three bearings should cost you about £18 delivered. get the dust seal of the sprocket bearing , copy down the numbers on the bearing , ring them up(01792 520961) and if happy with the price , pay for the whole lot over the phone.
Bearings are Koyo(pretty sure)
