My bearings started making a grinding noise on my right front wheel. I took a look and the bearings are in bad shape. What does it take to replace these? Just replace the actual bearings and pack them with grease?

Anything else I should do while I'm doing this?

Thanks,

bd

Thanks for the help. I got your post.

Servicehonda.com doesn't seem to have Foreman parts. Any place else besides Bike Bandit?

Thanks,

http://www.allballsracing.com/bearing_kits/wheel_bearings_and_seals.htm I got my sealed bearings from these guys and they are very high-quality and should be a little cheaper than High Lifter. They also come with seals. http://www.worldofpowersports.com/cgi-bin/wop/oeparts.html This site has schematics. Both places have your bearings.

Ok you need to replace you bearings before they get any worse. If you dont want to spend alot of money you can go to your local napa with the bearing and they could get you a bearing (i dont recomend this i recomend High lifter sealed bearing. I also recomend this modification add a grease fitting in the bearing housing but if you do this dont buy sealed bearings. If you do the bearing replacement correctly you can get 5-6 years out of your bearings depending on mud, tires, and riding conditon Good Luck
