Looking to replace front wheel bearings on my 07 bigbear 400 have been told to stories one they can only be removed with a puller other that they are easy to take out. Anyonw with any advise

 

in my 350 i just took a chisel to them. you dont need a puller. take a hammer, lots of wd40 and a chisel and they should come right out. two on mine were rusted so bad they werent even turning and i still got them out. it doesent even matter if you bust them getting them out. just whatever works best. be sure to pack the new bearings with lots of grease.

 

also when you get them out, put the new ones in a freezer to contract them. they will go in alot easier.

 

Thanks for the advise will give it a try

 

Turns out I need to replace the front wheel bearings in my 2007 Grizz 450. I am going to see about aftermarket sealed bearings. I bought a pair of 13mm wide bearings on ebay to replace my rear bearing. I can't believe they didn't use sealed bearings from the factory??????? Oh well - We'll see how these ebay bearings (KML Brand) hold up. They cost $3 each ! hehehe

I agree - pop the bearings in the freezer for a day, they go in easier. I also too a big fender washer and grinded it down to the OD of the bearing (55mm) and used that to help wack in the new ones! Good luck!
