Is replacing the bearings on a HTII BB easy?
I'm guessing it would be a lot cheaper than replacing the whole unit.
dead easy with the right tools, if you want to borrow said tools and are in derbyshire then you are more than welcome
I didn't think the bearings were replaceable? interested if anyone knows otherwise too!
Easy to do. YOu have to find the right size bearings tho - they actually vary slightly between different manufacturers
cruzheckler - cheers but in Bucks.
They are Shimano.
Any ideas if any instructions exist which will also include details of required tools?
Possibly useful?
Looks good, I may even have the bearings too 🙂
As TJ said, the bearings Shimano use are narrower than std ones. Even so I stuck them in & just did away with one of the spacers either side. Has been working fine for few months. Be gentle with the "top-hats" as they split easily.
sweet, looks quite easy!
