Hi I recently got an xreg Speedfight 2 and I needs some work, but when I asked a garage about this labour is way too expensive, how would I replace the front wheel bearings and do I need any special tool to remove or insert the old or new bearings,?and is it just the case of removing the 3 wheel nuts to access the bearings? Please help!

With the rear wheel is this the same one bearing on each side?

hi,as you mentioned,"then you will see a abearing on each side of the hub"...will the bearings be the same on each side of the hub ? thanks

you need to take the three bolts out the front wheel,then undo the brake caliper and take it off ahen undo the nut in the middle of the hub and pull the hub off the spindle this may need some force so you may need a rubber hammer to do that then you will see a abearing on each side of the hub you need to put a drift like an old spindle in there and knock the centre spacer over one way then get the drift on the edge of the bearing and then knok it out and then the same of the other one.when you fit the new new ones make sure you drift them in usinga a suitable sized bit of metal or socket that fits the outer edge of the bearing not the inner one or you will wreck it.
