slice Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I wonder if any of you can help me out. Took the maxim in for it's MOT and it FAILED (bugger!!) nothing major tho just the rear wheel bearings were shot. When I took it apart there are only 2 bearings inside and I thought that there should be 3, 2 small ones drive side about 40mm across and 1 larger brake side one about 45mm across, but was wondering if I had this wrong cos my XJ has 3 and I have changed them so know that is correct. Also I am having a mare trying to find a supplier for the bearings in the UK so if you happen to know who might stock them I would be eternally grateful as they seem to be a rare as rocking horse shit! Any help on this would be really much appreciated. thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted May 25, 2013 Moderator Share Posted May 25, 2013 Can't help on the number but if you can find the sizes of the bearings you can get them from here. LINKY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YPVS TONE Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 If you've got the wheel out look on the shield on the side of the bearings and there should be a number i.e 6202, 6303 etc. This is the bearing number and you should be able to quote this to get replacements. There will usualy be a letter/s after the number depending on what type of shields it has i.e RS=Rubber shielded ZZ=Metal shielded. Make sure you quote this as well when ordering. What year is the bike ? Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
