Hey everyone,

My front bearing is making a lot of noise, wanted to know what was the best way of tackling this.

Thanks

The easiest way is to purchase the complete assembly, probably swap it out in a half hour (depending how you work), however, thats a high dollar. The cheapest is just buying the bearing for like $80 bucks (for oem) or like $20 for after market BUT, the job sucks and will **** you off! LoL Now unless you have a press, you'll have to take it in to get the old one pressed out. I've heard they charge $50 bucks to press the old one out and the new one in, pretty ridiculous cause it takes less than 10 minutes for the whole job. Not sure if that includes slicing up the inner bearing to remove it from the axle itself, if it does, then its worth it; thats the hardest part. In addition to the bearing, you'd have to purchase a new snap ring and seal another ~$25 bucks.

So yea, those are the 2 options


Oh also, you could always buy a new hub with the bearing to eliminate having to cut off the old bearing. It would just be a matter of taking it in and having it pressed in. I would imagine it would cost very little to press in the new one and nothing else.

Oh and heres the video on how to do it:

I've seen the whole hub with bearing on ebay for under 150$ and paya tech 50-100$ labor, but not sure how reliable the part is compared to the 500$ oem, or just get a Kyoto bearing for 50$ and pay some one 100$-150 to install it.
