Replacing Bearings In Pacific Steelheader (Old Islander)
« on: March 03, 2014, 07:06:32 PM »
Hi all! - first post :)

Just wondering if there is any special way to take out the bearings or if it is pretty straight forward. 

thanks :)

gently and evenly, find something that fits onto the center race and gently push them out

Theres a slight knock in them, spins louder than it should.....guess you could say it's not quite as smooth as it could be.

Just take to Mike. It cost me around 25$ for bearings (Abec 7) ,replacement  and  servicing last year.

I'm on the Island, so would have had to ship it.  The bearings are actually super easy to replace. 

I ordered some from Islander last week, they showed up today and I had them installed in less than two minutes. 

Not sure what they sent me as I didn't ask, but will see if they are better tomorrow........
