Front Wheel - Remove L Series
- Place the wheel on wooden blocks to prevent damage to the brake discs.
- Remove and discard the seals and the bearing circlip.
- Using a suitable pin punch, through the centre of the wheel, drift out the wheel bearings. Collect the centre sleeve.
caution
Do not allow the wheel to rest on the brake discs, as this may damage the discs. Support the wheel on wooden blocks, equally spaced around the rim, such that the brake discs are raised above the ground.
warning
Always wear eye, hand and face protection when using a hammer and drift. Use of a hammer and drift can cause bearings to fragment. Pieces of fragmented bearing could cause eye and soft tissue injuries if suitable protective apparel is not worn.
caution
To prevent wheel damage and to aid bearing removal, always apply force evenly on both sides of the bearing to prevent it from tipping and becoming stuck. Application of uneven force will lead to difficulty in removing the bearing and to a damaged wheel.
