Wheel Bearing Replacement

Postby aj_mariner » Fri Dec 21, 2018 11:29 pm

Almost every video out there to watch on YouTube about replacing wheel bearings is laughable, but recently found a handy tool in the process. “Wheel bearing press tool” for sale by YouTuber “Tokyo Offroad.” Made for KTM’s but fits Beta too. In my opinion, it’s the best tool for the job and the only one of its kind for dirt bikes. It only took a week to get to me in the US from Japan.

Ive never had a problem with using a piece of brass and tapping the bearing in off of the outer race. If you are concerned about straightness of the bearing going in just go to your local machine shop with the bearing and tell them you want a piece of 1/4" flat stock with a slip fit for the supplied bearing. Then use that as your guide while installing.

That oil drain tool is a great bit of kit. With it I can easily do a complete 2T gearbox oil change in under 10 minutes with no mess or need to remove the skid plate etc.

Just checked the manuals, it fits every Beta from ‘13 on EXCEPT the 125 4-stroke. Not sure about the new ‘19 200 2T or supermoto hubs since I can’t find anything on them
