Well over the weekend i was changing the tyres on my 1992 softail custom when i got the front wheel on to my balancing jig when spinning the wheel it just did not feel as smooth as it should a wee while later had the back tyre changed over and spun that wheel it also felt just a wee bit not right so i have ordered wheel bearings for both front and back
Although i am no stranger to replacing wheel bearings on a bike or a car i have never replaced the bearings on an hd the bearings on the way to me are timken bearings and come with oil seals
I got a weird look from the wife when i warned her that wheel bearings will be in the freezer later in the week
I have a blind bearing puller and will use it to pull the bearing outer race and refit the bearing using some threaded rod a couple of washers and a suitable sized socket
If there are any other tips i can get from more experienced heads i would appreciate them
