Make sure you don’t just throw new bearings on old races.  That is a good way to have a bearing failure as the bearing and race wear together.  Also, if you are repacking your bearings don’t do more than one wheel at a time as you may get your bearings mixed up and now they might be with the incorrect race.  Again, this could lead to bearing failure.  Not where you want to be.

Here’s a video of how I do bearing and race replacement. Remember this is how I do it, there are other slightly varied techniques out there. Also, never, ever, do a task you are not comfortable with. Paying someone to do this job is much less expensive than a trip to the hospital.

Also, as just a word of caution, this is time consuming. There are many videos that make bearing maintenance look fast and easy. It is not an easy or fast job. Most of those videos have been edited for the sake of time. I just want to let you know so you don’t become frustrated with how long it may take. The first time I did a bearing repack it was brutal. I spent over 30 minutes just removing the rear seal. So just take your time and a deep breath and you will be fine.
