Author Message   Noface Posted on Thursday, August 19, 2004 - 09:25 am:        Anyone here have any tips on how to get the buggers out of there? There's a tube between the bearings and nothing I've got handy to push them out. So what's the secret or procedure? Thanks!   Captainplanet Posted on Thursday, August 19, 2004 - 09:42 am:        This would help. http://www.ironmachine.com/product_info.php?cPath=49&products_id=63   Noface Posted on Thursday, August 19, 2004 - 09:42 am:        looks like I jumped the gun. I found a discussion here: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/3842/30825.html?1087983311 Now all I gotta do is figure out where to get a tool, now that I have the dern wheel off and whacked that bearing a couple times already... Do ya spose AutoZone rents them? Time to let my fingers do the walking... Thanks again.   Noface Posted on Thursday, August 19, 2004 - 09:47 am:        Thanks Captain, those sure are nice! But they look kinda expensive. And I need one, like today... Hey, BTW, how's that died plastic holding up? It sure looks great!   Captainplanet Posted on Thursday, August 19, 2004 - 09:50 am:        I bet the guys at ironmachine could get them to you pretty fast if you were willing to pay the price. The dye is holding up great. I still have a bit of polishing to do on the frame, engine, etc. though.   Dcmortalcoil Posted on Thursday, August 19, 2004 - 07:39 pm:        How do you use the bearing removing tool? Anyone?   Captainplanet Posted on Friday, August 20, 2004 - 09:12 am:        You need a press as well as the tools. The tools allow you to press out the bearing without causing damage to the spacers and wheels.   Dcmortalcoil Posted on Saturday, August 21, 2004 - 11:25 am:        What tools are needed?   Chaser Posted on Saturday, August 21, 2004 - 11:28 am:        Do you have a 2003. If so what color are your bearings. You just might get them free from the recall   Noface Posted on Saturday, August 21, 2004 - 03:17 pm:        I have an 03, and yes, I'm replacing the orange ones. For reference here are part numbers for the bearings: Rear: NTN 6006LU Front NTN 6005LU available at any good autoparts store for lot's less than the HD dealer. 18k miles on them. They're still good, one's got a small crunchy spot in it, but mostly replacing them to make me feel good...   Spiderman Posted on Saturday, August 21, 2004 - 03:25 pm:        DC call me at the shop at 800-234-7285 i will be here sunday or if ya wanna pay the long distance my celly at 734-355-7453 I have done this plenty of times an can walk ya thru it. If you have the right tools.   Mmmi_grad Posted on Friday, March 16, 2007 - 07:52 pm:        Can someone reiterate the right tools to use for these and the X1 pm wheel bearings?
