Hi there, i'm in the range of mileage where a hub checkup and regrease is due and after i serviced my front hub (cup and cone), found a ruined race, replaced, regreased and it runs so much smoother than my rear hub bearings.
so since i had a few rain runs , i want to change them too, some time soon, problem is, rears are encapsulated press in bearing types and i have no idea what size to get to replace them. i know they are to last a bit longer between checkups/repack intervalls but they will have to come out eventually.
before i have some replacements to make it a transplant job, i really don't what to take mine out to measure. call it bad experiences in the past.
does anyone has an unipack rear hub laying around that i could acquire, and/or might know or has the chance to measure the bearing dimensions?
strategies, hints and tool borrowings offered to make it an easy peasy transplant are more than welcome, as i think it will not be as easy as on my skateboard to pop them out.
sincerely,
reeen
