removal of front wheel bearings on ST1100
« on: August 04, 2015, 02:18:58 PM »
Question:  does anybody know if a backyard mechanic is able to make a tool to remove the front wheel bearings from my ST1100, after returning from a 350 klm roadtrip and cleaning the bike, it came to notice that thick black grease was on the inside of the right hand side brake disc, wow, am I glad the ride was no further, could have resulted in a serious situation

I use a 25mm dynabolt, just tighten it up and knock it out from the other side.

So at what age does this "old enough to know better" kick in?

Another trick once the bearings are out is to cut a groove in the spacer so you can more easily knock the bearings out. Yorkie's solution far neater
