which bearings are you talking about? Axle,wheel bearings,steering stem,swing arm or main-pick one

i suppose i should have been more specific. sorry about that. it must be either axle or wheel. when i drive the back end makes some noises and shakes. as soon as i realized this i stopped driving it though.

What model trike do you have? Is it a hard tail? I havent changed bearings on a hard tail but I have on everything elseI own.My suggestion is see which side will come apart easier, it will probrably be the brake side remove all that crap and knock the axle out. Be careful and dont trash the threads on the axle. I did my 200x a while ago,lots of penetrating oil a little heat and a hammer
