Surprisingly professional tutorial. Kudos to you!

This wheel is from an ’07 Scorpa SY250 which is a French made, Yamaha powered, trials bike. I also own an ’05 YZ250 and an ’06 WR250F. As you can see I bleed blue.
best bearing video on youtube ..thanks a lot

Thx dude!
Does carb cleaner work instead of break cleaner?
Carb cleaner might work better than Brake cleaner. The most important thing to note is if the cleaner is safe for rubber. Because, some solvents will attack and degrade the rubber seals. Read the label carefully for material compatibility before using any product on your bearings and seals.
Do you know a good way of removing rusted out bearings from a hub? Just bought a bike and the bearings are all rusted into the hub itself
Soak the bearing/hub over night in solvent. Lightly tap hub/bearing with metal tool handle for solvent penetration. Wipe off the excess solvent. Place hub in your freezer overnight. Take the hub out and carefully use a torch (fueled flame) and evenly heat the hub around the bearing – not too much. Using a dull Flat-Blade Screwdriver, and a Sledge-Hammer, hammer the bearing out from the opposite side, evenly, being careful not to scratch the hub surface. Also, search Park Tool bearing romoval.
I still don’t know why people are cheap on 10 dollar bearings per set. Just get a slap hammer bearing remover, pull the bearings, seat new “sealed” bearings, done deal.
I had to replace these bearings after all. I think they were $120 through an industrial supplier - French made motorcycle.
Wow. That hurts. Amazing what they can get for bearings overseas. Bummer, least you are in good shape now.
