    Yeah, Connor said that peace wheelies are “so old school”. Trouble is that is the only trick I have in my repertoire :blush:

    No good Mike. :( The 450 will be hard to hide with those graphics. Hopefully someone will see it.

    Man this sort of thing gives me the shits big time. :angry:

    It is a 2001 model, previously owned by a mechanic, hence the lack of maintainence :laugh:

    I ended up reshaping the point on an old cold chisel and flogged the bearing off with that. Once I got it to move initially, it was relatively easy to get it off then. The whole job took me just on an hour to do, removal right through to back together. I took a bit of Ollie’s advise and I put the bearing cones in the freezer for a little while so as to make it easier to knock them in. Worked a treat too. ;)

    Good one Ollie, I have used the freezer method to do shackle pins and bushes on truck springs in the past. Your missus must hate you. :laugh: If it isn’t bearings in the freezer,you’ve got an exhaust pipe in there. :laugh:

    I have used the first method you mentioned before TB. I thought when I was doing it, “there has to be an easier way”.
    The bearings on the YZ are pretty neglected.
