Hi All,
My DT Swiss front wheel has developed a bit of a wobble/play which I assume means the bearings need replacing. Is this easy to do, do I need any special tools and any particular brand of bearing that I should look at?
Thanks as always

Super simple.
Remove end caps, drift one side bearing out with axle, remove bearing off axle, reinsert axle and drift other side out.
Clean, thin grease to bearing surfaces, drift new bearing in with socket whose outside diameter is only slightly smaller than the outer race. Insert axle, drift other bearing in with same socket.
Iirc.
Wot he said ^
Manual here
https://www.dtswiss.com/Resources/Support/HUBS/DT-Swiss-Hubs-350-Technical-Manual
If your wheel is a 15mm axle version, then the bearings are 6902 (page 13)
If it is the standard qr version they are 6000 (page 12)
Buy the best bearings you can afford from a local bearing supplier.
Cheers guys. Seems easy. Am currently in Spain so will download the manual on my return.
