    Thanks
    Just measured my spare rear wheel (XRV750 2000) and the inside diameter of the sprocket side seal is 28.5mm.

    How cool is that.
    I seem to remember we tried something like that a few years ago with the wiki which for some reason never took of
    If anyone wants to do something like that for a @ front break caliber refurb i got all the pics.Took them while Chad done them for me a few years back
    They call him the "quiet one "

    Ok, thanks for that /

    I found something myself and I think I have correct data for rear wheel seals:

    Larger seal at the sprocket side:
    - 28mm Inner diameter
    - 47.2mm Outer diameter
    - 7mm depth

    Smaller seal at the braking side:
    - 25mm Inner diameter
    - 42mm Outer diameter
    - 7mm depth

    Hello;

    I'm going to do the front and rear wheel bearings soon... are the kits from Wemoto OK quality and are the prices good or well over the odds (if I was to source the bits separately)?

    I can't comment on Wemoto bearings. Other alternatives are bikebearings.co.uk & simplybearings both companys sell quality branded breaings as well as cheaper stuff.

    Re: How to change wheel bearings.

    i woke up this morning the rain was poreing down
    a courier rang the door bell i stuck my head out the window
    and said im comeing down
    the wheel the breaker sent me is badly corroded
    it wont be long untill it is all broken down .


    i tried to knock out the old wheel bearings
    i hammered and hammered but the bearing would not budge
    i hit my hand twice with the hammer
    im in a world of pain
    i got the wheel bearing blues
    i got the wheel bearing blues
    i got the wheel bearing blues
    and i dont know what im a gona do

    2 weeks ago my back wheel bearing went
    it chewed up my wheel
    man i was felling blue
    i ordered a pair of dominator wheels from holland
    but they were rotten trough
    cost me 65 euro to post them back
    but what can you do

    i cant get the spacer pipe to budge
    no matter what i do
    the wheel is probably buckled
    and not running true
    from whacking it with the hammer
    and my poor hand too
    i got the wheel bearing blues and i dont
    know what to do
    i got the wheel bearing blues
    im sure you have had them too
