yes you'll have to remove the bearings , as to how hard they are to remove, well a decent drift and a club hammer should take care of that.

replacements, Mrs suzuki will charge you something like £35 for them, but if you take the old ones to a bearing place (I've used bensham bearings in Croydon before and a place in Enfield0 you can normally get double shielded (the originals are single shielded) one for about £6-8 each.


Cheers Mark.
