Hi Chaps,

I’m replacing the bearings on my ORange Five29, and really don’t want to strip down the brake off the bike, as it’s a bugger to get the braided hose back through, and I’d need to do a bleed – and would rather avoid it.

Does anyone have a 6902 puller I can borrow, or buy off them? Happy to pay postage, or can meet anywhere in the Tweed Valley.

Cheers

Ricks

What’s the internal diameter? If it’s small enough you can use a big rawl bolt to bind against the inner race.

Genius…. 15mm ID

Remove rear shock mount, shifter and lever… Tis easy!

What about the brake hose? won’t you need to remove that to get enough room to maneuver the swingarm so that you can drift the bearings out?

Is the brake hose & gear cable internal to the main frame as well as the rear triangle?

Could you not just remove the rear shifter and brake at the bars and coil them and keep them as a unit with the rear triangle?

In case my post wasn’t clear, rusty Mac has the idea!
