    Being new and still wet behind the ears, todays Murphsberg would have been perfect for you :P

    With the amount of rain thats fallen today ,Murph, Smurph and Axel would be totally saturated behind their ears, you would have fitted in fine :laugh:

    Yep Aaron, you will need a Dolly, I use a steel rod about 300mm long and 12mm diameter. Make sure it has a nice sharp edge. Poke the dolly down thru the spacer and push it to one side to expose the bearing. Give it a nice firm hit with the trusty 2lb ball pein hammer then move the spacer to the other side and do the same again. You can make the job a bit easier by warming up the hub with a heat gun. When the bearing comes out remove the spacer flip the wheel over and do the same to remove that one.

    Those Yamaha front bearings are piss weak in my opinion too small for the application. I remove the seals blow out the standard grease with compressed air repack with quality grease then put the seals back on. Get much better life from them.

    Ollie

    Don’t under estimate Ollie’s comment. The aluminium of the hub expands more than the steel of the bearing and can make a BIG difference.

    I realize its a bit late now but may help someone else ;)

    Regarding the grease, IMO you can never have too much lubrication :)

    actually…i have just looked at the forecast…20 – 40 mm of Rain :woohoo:
    at least it won’t be cold :)

    I was seriously considering joining this ride :)

    However the forecast of rain, and a fair bit at that :(

    And a long and lonely drive :unsure:

    I think I’ll stay home and harass the wife instead :kiss:

    We are child free for the weekend :woohoo:

    Although I would probably have more success staying upright on the bike on slippery greasy, icy trails than anything at home :laugh:

    :laugh: Mick wrote “How about young Sam. He’d be a great member for the team? “

    I spoke with Sam and he asked if he could race in it :laugh:

    He’s checking to see if he has his HSC trial exams around that time today and will let you know ;)

    So we need to bring our 1st aid skills :huh: One look at us and they’ll get up running :laugh:

    Happy Birthday Rebore

    Now you can sit back, kick up your heels, get the boss to pass you a beer and doze off in front of the tv :P

    Mick,

    Spoke with the boss and she said I’m good to go, actually she said it would get me out of her hair :S

    So I will help too but its Rebore’s turn to push out of creeks :laugh:

    What are the requirements of the job ? or is it similar to sweeping an Old Bulls ride.

    Adam.
