    Is it easy to change the bearings on these hubs? And how much for the parts to do it?

    Fairly straight foward, just remember that one bearing is retained by a circlip (difficult to see when covered in dirty grease) & the spacers have to be replaced in the right order or else the wheel will go tight when you do the QR up.
    Details here
    Bearings probably a tenner from your local bearing supplier.

    There’s a number on the bearings, can’t remember what it is off the top of my head, but have a look at yours and give your local bearing supplier that number.

    And – top tip – if you can, take it apart it a bag, it’ll save you searching the garage floor for the pawl springs for half an hour after they’ve pinged out. Wish someone had told me that… 😀

    Top tip – an old rotor bolt will fit nicely in the end of the axle and provides somehting you can **** with a hammer without damaging the axel. you will have to hit it a *LOT* harder thank you think to get it to move,

    Did my rear bearings a couple of months ago, with help from this vid:

    I did put the new bearings in the freezer as well, which helped getting them back in.
