Looks like the bearings need changing on my 2014 (650b) Five. I’ve found the guide on the Orange website and a few others but these are for the older model with the removable blocks.

If anyone has changed the bearings on the newer model is it just the same process?

Cheers

Nope, it’s now a through axle that needs pressing/pulling/drifting(whichever is more suitable to you) through the frame. I usually put a long bolt in one side of the axle, pour a bit of boiling water on the other side of the swingarm, and drift it through by hitting the bolt, heat expansion rates often see that bearing come out with the axle.

Ah, thanks for that. Had a feeling it wasn’t going to be quite as simple.
