Wheel Bearing Replacement Help!

[Logan546]

I have a 2000 Blaster. Both of my front wheel bearings are shot completely. The right side is so bad that the entire wheel is about to fall off lol. I just bought All Balls front wheel bearings for both side. I guess each wheel takes 2 bearings and 2 rubber seals? Anyways, how do i go about doing this? Step by step would be greatly appreciated

There's good videos of it on YouTube, just go there and search for ATV wheel bearings and a bunch of videos will come up. Easier to watch than read.

Take the wheels off and disconnect the brakes.

Take the hubs off the spindles.

Either use a bearing puller, or any kind of contraption you can think up to get inside the hub and knock the bearings out.

Freeze the new bearings, and heat the hubs up. Thermal expansion is your friend in this.

Reassemble everything the reverse of the way you took it off. Please use new cotter pins in the castle nuts. They are cheap and are good insurance to prevent injuries.
