    Yes, it is not hard to do. Another tip, if you plan on takling the rotor off, sometimes it is easier to do while the hub assembly is still attached to the spindle. becareful, the allen head bolts do not like coming out and have threadlocker installed from the factory.

    Unless you have a set of hubs I have not come across, there is no race in the majority of atv front hubs, just sealed ball bearings.

    If you want to see how the bearings are, pull the hub, the small spacers and the seals. Stick your finger inside the bearing and turn it, it should turn free and smooth. If its hard to turn or feels notchy, replace them

    What if both bearings are the same size-86 250R? I tried prying one of them up a little to get a punch in so I could beat it out, but I"m not having any luck. Is there a trick I'm missing, or do I need some special tool? Also, is the bushing in the middle really important as it got a little scratched-I planned on sanding it a little and reusing it? Thanks for any help or advice, I've had nothing but problems with this R since I traded a shee for it.

    On bearings that are the same size, I usually try and get the spacer moved to one side so I can get a punch down through the bearing and onto the lip of the other bearing.
