Oh man, when I spun my rear wheel bearing, i really spun it. Turns out there was ANOTHER bearing in there that was so far gone, I couldn't even tell it was there. The weather is nice, and gas is $3 a gallon. Why does my bike have to break now!?!?!?

on a related note, whats the best way to get the bearing thats inside the wheel out, without dinging the bearing on the other side? -
Bearings are cheap. Just replace them all at the same time.You'd have to be crazy to be sane in this world -Nero
If you love it, let it go. If it comes back....... You probably highsided.

JC Whitney has wheel bearings for about 5 bucks a pop. They're Chinese, but I've had good luck with them.Originally posted by NerobroComment

well lets say I already ordered just the bearings i needed from bikebandit (needed a spacer too) and had to get the outer race out, without destroying the bearing on the other side?Comment

Just use a dowel or any kind of rod and insert it through the bearing on the opposite side and punch around the edges of the bearing you want to remove. Use the old bearing on the new one to drive the new bearing into place. Use a little lube on the new bearing so it goes in easily.Comment
