    Evening all, need to replace the bearings in the above hub. Anyone have any ideas which side the axle comes out? The hub has two locknuts on either side…. I guess I need to remove the brake disk lock ring (centre lock), then use a cone spanner to remove locknuts and Bash out axle. Then drift bearing out from either side.

    Even better…. Anyone know the size or offer any tips!

    Done the hope pro 2 front Hubs many times but not these.

    Thanks all!

    Well… . . Just a quick update incase anyone stumbles upon this in the future.

    It’s easy job. First undo the lockring for the brake rotor, then use a cone spanner to undo the locknut completely. This will expose the axle end….. Smack with plastic hammer….. And errrrr that’s it.

    You need a 5mm Allen key and cone spanner to remove the cap securing the pair of bearings and these just slide off the axle.

    Everything is snug fit but not a tight press fit.

    Bearings go back into hub fine with a gentle tap with a bit of tube matching outer race diameter.
