Pete,
The wheel bearings are not sealed. The seal can be pulled with a seal puller
but if you do pull the seal you will likely need new ones since they will
likely be damaged.
Once the seal is pulled the bearings will pop out...just remember to locate
and hold on to the shims. Also...don't get the bearings mixed up.
Regards...Ian

Rich sounds very similar to the "exploratory surgery " I did in the past 9 months. I didn't get into the engine though But now 2 more Q . you say you regreased the wheel bearings. They looked sealed to me, fr. and rear . These are the ones that the inner race does not move relative |
| the outer race without a pre-load. I was told the axial force is supplied when you by tighten the axle bolt. This allows the bearing to rotate freely. Anyway, I am real curious how you got into there. Second one, you mention a Rider manual. I have Guzzioloy and the factory shop manual and the tips book. Is this Rider manual worthgetting? from where? Thanks a lot Pete |
