These bearings are super easy to service. We use to use two or three old spokes and a solid axel to drive out the bearings. You can make a press with some threaded stock and a couple of washers, sockets and bolts. Just make sure you are pressing on the outer race when you install them.
You can also use a block or wood and carefully press them back into the hub shell with c clamps or careful use of a hammer. > Topic: SUZUE Bearing > Replacement<http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch/t/90edc94b1ece3b6e> > > bfd <bfd...@yahoo.com> Jun 24 01:57PM -0700 ^<#1296f714f5162cfb_digest_top> > > > > Suzue/.Sunshine/Suntour sealed bearing hubs required a special tool > to > > pull the bearings that Loose Screws used to sell.
