WHEEL BEARING FRONT AND REAR SAME?

Post by paddy_nc29 » Tue Jan 17, 2012 10:01 pm

As title, are the front and rear bearings the same for a '91 NC29. Just wondering as there is a variation of price on ebay...

You need three bearings for the rear, two are the same as the front, according to cmsnl.com. So, four bearings are part number 91054MAM003 . The extra for the rear is 91073MV4782

Waiting for my Haynes manual to arrive, which would allow me to answer definitively, but the diagram at cmsnl is pretty clear.

The front and rear wheel bearings are the same size. You will more than likely destroy the bearings getting them out without the proper tools.

You can use the old bearing to tap in the new ones.

The rear sprocket carrier has a larger bearing fitted. This prob wont need changing, I had my wheels powder coated so didn't need to change the sprocket bearing.
