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.
