I was wondering how hard it is to change bearings in rear end of a 81 ATC 200. Ive heard getting the brakes apart can be a pain. This trike isnt anything special just a typical workhorse around the house. Everynow and then when I move it I hear popping from the rear. Sure would have been nice if they put some zerk fittings on these cause mine sound pretty dry in there. Thanks.

Like you said the brake drums can be a pain, but soak most of it in penitrating oil for a day before you tear it apart. And I did put a greese fitting in the axle housing; I give it a few pumps before I go riding. When you put the new bearings in, pop the little plastic ring out (if there are the sealed type) of the bearings, pack them with greese and put the plastic ring back in, this will help there life a ton.
