Re: Front wheel bearings
A spring clip which fits into a recess in the bearing cavity. I'm not sure whether the SV uses one though. Will check haynes...

Re: Front wheel bearings
On the pointy SV no there is no circlip, not sure on the curvy.
I assume that the wheel is raised up with the bearing on the lower side? You then drift the bearing downwards usign a drift through the center of the wheel yes? It'll budge, maybe you are being too gentle with it. |

Re: Front wheel bearings
No mention of a circlip, can't remember seeing one either..
Try some gentle heat, and remember lots of impacts checking carefully that it's coming out square is better than a few massive whacks.

Re: Front wheel bearings
Yeah, it should be easier really. I've had bearings that were nightmares to shift, and others that more or less fell out.
