Rear Bearing Busted
So I was replacing a worn Spur Gear on my ZX5 when I noticed my rer wheel moving allot more than usual...
I removed the rear hum and popped the shaft out to find a small ball and what looked initially like grass stuck to it. http://i.imgur.com/c0bAapQ.jpg?1 On further inspection it became clear that I had a catastrophic failure of the inner bearing of the rear hub carrier: http://i.imgur.com/mID2P4W.jpg?1 After some serious effort I managed to get everything out of the rear hub, however... I will need a new rear hub and also... a bearing... might take this opportunity to replace all the bearings... just in case http://i.imgur.com/BAuUCfS.jpg Last edited by Jakes2514; 29-12-2014 at 08:36 PM.

Hi Jake
Looks like part no La244 from those pictures, set you back about £8 a pair. Pretty standard 5x10x4mm metric bearings so getting some won't be an issue. Hub bearings take a lot of stick so replace all the rears to be on the safe side, or get a whole new bearings kit which might be cheaper in the long run. HTH Brett

Seeing as the chassis is going on 10 years old now I think I have just been lucky in the bearing holding out for this long |
