onza boy 46 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 last night, after 3 hours of trials riding my onza sealed front hub bearings(well think it the bearings) locked and would not move unless i turned the wheel by hand, any way i was wondering is it possible to replace the bearing or not? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcd Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 It is possible to replace the bearings it the t-master hub. I have replaced the bearings in the rear T-master ones before. u have to find a way of getting the axle out and then knocking the bearings off of the axle. It is quite a difficult task but it is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onza boy 46 Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) Does any one have any ideas on how to remove the axle anyone?(It's the T-master one on tarty bikes for £20 if this help.) thanks Edited July 13, 2007 by onza boy 46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will sort you out in no time with quality bearings that are ever so cheap! If they don't sell the right ones they will make some that will would fit.

RossMcd Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Put the wheel into a vice and give the axle one good smack and it should come right out(Y) . It will take one bearing out with it but the other bearing that is left in the hub you would need to try smack it out with a screwdriver and hammer. Putting it back in you will need it gently hammer one bearing in at a time when the axle is in the center of the hub. Being gentle putting them back in will mean your wheel will be perfect and ready to ride . If the bearing breaks putting it in then you will have to start all over again. Dont want that!!!
