Default Changing wheel bearings (front) 2WD Moto-4

What is involved with changing the front wheel bearings on a YMF-225 (86 Moto4) 2 wheel drive? I've changed the bearings on my car before which involved pressing the old bearings out of the hub and then pressing new ones in. I would imagine it is a simpler job with on ATV?

Thanks.

Yes, they are all press-in. A problem you might run into is that it will have two bearings per wheel. So you have to use a punch to get one bearing out before you have easy access to the 2nd bearing. Go to www.bikebandit.com and look under "Front wheel" for your ATV. You will see it has two bearings with a spacer in the middle. Sometimes that spacer can seize onto the knuckle, sometimes not. You will want to get after market sealed bearings. Moose or All ***** Racing should make them. Almost any dealer should be able to get them.
