Axle Bearings on a 250R

[ColoradoRider]

Anyone replace the axle bearings on thier 250R? How hard is it and what specialty tools do I need?
Thanks.

what year?i assume most of them are the same.you can use beat them out with an old 1/2 drive extension.but if they are really froze up i use a dremel to cut the outer bearing race in half,and then pry it apart with a screw driver.then sand out the burrs left in the carrier.

stick your new bearings in the freezer over night.the next day tap them in lightly with a socket the same size as the outer race of the bearing.grease it all up good,and you done.

make sure you put the collar back in the carrier between the bearings.
