Wheel Bearing Replacement
I am going through my TBR7 fairly thoroughly and ordered bearing replacements for both the front and rear.. from Balls Racing...
Are there any videos on the subject or tutorials? ( could be Hawk, Tao or any of the Chinese bikes) I don't think it's that hard but I sure do like watching some one else do it prior to me.... Many thanks!!

There really is no need to replace the bearings on a new bike. Just grease up the ones that come on the bike. They come with very little grease from the factory. I have over 7800 miles on the stock bearing on my Hawk.

Jerry, question - I did the same on my TBR7 recently, popped off the dust cover as you show in the pic and packed in marine grease.
The other side of your photo ( the rotor side) - I could not figure for the life of me how to get the cover off, it look like it is part of the housing the holds the rotor on and I would need to unbolt the rotor. Is this accurate or am I missing something? |

It's the same on both side on my Hawk. The axle seal should come out fairly easy.

You will need to buy a new seal. After trying to get it off, you may have damaged it. Just put a screwdriver under the edge and whack the handle with a hammer. You may have to be mean to it. I have had one on my front wheel on my Apollo that gave me grief. It came out but not in a reusable form. Lol. Just order new seals for both sides. Buy a quality seal from a reputable company. Trust me on that. Both my front and rear (original) seals let water in. Rusted my bearings within 6 months. I went with Japanese made seals and bearings. No more problems. Requires research but worth it. There are little numbers cast on the seal that tell the size. Just Google the numbers and choose wisely.

So thanks to all the responses and wisdom
... but unfortunately I am unclear as to how the whole thing goes together.... So i downloaded an exploded view of a generic Dirt bike rear wheel assembly..... which I think looks fairly close... .the only difference (??) is that there's a seal cover between 2 and 4 on the left side and 11 and 4 on the right? is that close or do I have it wrong?

So here's another video that explains a rear wheel assembly, hub, bearings, axle etc...
might be helpful for anyone that stumbles on this thread...

Are you getting any closer to getting the wheel on and bike running?

It turns out I stripped the bottom shock bolt during assembly so I died it & tapped the nut. When I got the swing arm off I noticed the shock would barley move. I'm thinking it's supposed to swing kind of freely from up there so I figured I better take that off to grease & torque it. IT WON'T COME OFF. I bought some gripping sockets, it made it worse so i had to take the seat, airbox, exhaust (to get the air box off) so I could get with vice grips. I CAN'T EVEN GET IT WITH VICE GRIPS. It's like a bad sitcom that you can't turn away from. I'm soaking it in WD40 for a few days and will try it again. Think I'll change my user name from Tomkay44 to NoMechanic1..... Not letting it get to me though. Lol |
