gazer Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 (edited) you need to heat them up, and drift them out, the bearing in the suspension heat up the outer , put the new bearing on a bolt and useing a socket as a spacer on the other side you can ( the bolt goes through the socket as well) pull in the new bearing which pushes out the old one which come out inside the socket Edited July 24, 2005 by gazer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Dear Grant, The same bearing, in the same year make and model, I have changed! You can buy a Sherco bearing puller that may work on monty's. But, In my case I used a 12 metric sockit on a extension and beat the little booger out! She is a easy one to freeze up, so be aware to keep her lubed!
