I curently have Katec bearings in my Iron Horse Mk3 and have been very happy with them
here is a link to his bearings

You'll need a blind bearing puller as well as they can't be drifted out with normal tools.
Bearings from your local bearing supplier (yellowpages, they usualy supply hyrdaulic or transmission equipment, or engineering refurbishment or some-such related description), just find the bearing numbers and take them a list.
Hey.
You have a couple of tricky bits of housing where you have 1x bearing a lip and then another bearings, so you can't just press it through.
The rocker housing sits at an odd shape so you can't just press them out.
These clips should give you some ideas!
Kaesae,
thanks for the clips, I'll check them out tonight.
I think a mate has a bearing puller that he used for his enduro.
I'm Edinburgh local, how much would you charge to do it all for me?
email in profile.
Got my wheel and frame bearings from ^ Kael^
Very happy so far.:)
I'm a bit busy working on my new shop / listing for feebay, saying that it is good to spend some time in the workshop away from screens.
why not email me and we can sort something out, it's hard to give price before I try and strip the frame down as I have no idea how much work will be involved.
kaesae,
When I get round to finding the time I'll take a look and see what I can do myself (preferred option).
I'll mail you if I need help, otherwise you will see a purchase on your ebay shop.
thanks
Cool
There are other guides on my awful youtube channel about checking bearings and shock bushes, as well as pressing bearings out and in using a vice!
If you need a hand just give me a shout!
