2.5SEALED WHEEL BEARINGS
INSPECTION
1. Block motorcycle underneath frame so wheel is raised off
the ground.
2. Turn the wheel through several rotations.
3. See Figure 2-13. Mount a magnetic base dial indicator to
the brake disc with the dial's contact point on the end of
the axle.
4. Move the wheel side to side to check bearing end play.
a. If the end play is less than the service wear limit of
0.002 in. (0.051 mm), bearing passes inspection.
b. If end play exceeds service wear limit or feels rough,
remove wheel and replace both wheel bearings.

support for the puller bridge. In these cases center a used
brake disc over the hub to support the puller bridge while
removing the bearings.
3. See Figure 2-14. Obtain WHEEL BEARING
INSTALLER/REMOVER (Part No. HD-44060A) and
assemble using 25 MM COLLET (Part No. HD-44060-10)
(10).
a. Sparingly apply graphite lubricant to threads of forcing
screw (1) to prolong service life and ensure smooth
operation.
b. Install nut (2), washer (3) and Nice bearing (4) on
screw. Insert assembly through hole in bridge (5).
c. Drop ball bearing inside 25 mm collet (6). Fasten
collet and ball bearing to forcing screw.
4. Hold end of forcing screw and turn collet to expand edges
of collet.
5. See Figure 2-16. When expanded collet has gripped
bearing edges, hold end of forcing screw and turn the nut
to remove bearing from wheel.
6. Remove spacer from inside wheel hub.
7. Repeat procedure for opposite side bearing. Discard all
