Changing wheel bearings
#41
My spacers do have wear grooves in them , I don't know that they are too deep? I think the seals have quite a bit of play. After you posted your pics I went and looked at mine. There is some type of defect in the front wheel spacer, some type of a crack, or void. Maybe I will look into replacements.

New bearings were in the plan regardless.
Good point on damage by knocking them out. I "knew" that, but had forgotten .
The collar thing is about $12 from the local Kaw dealer. Not sure if I'll spring for a new one of those yet, or let it ride for another year.

OK looked around town and the net for bearings. I really thought I might save some money by buying the individual bearings at Motion Industries, the local industrial supply house for belts, hoses ,bearings, and such. WRONG-O each front was quoted at $10 and the rears were $28 each. The dust seals were all $2 something each. Over $80!!??
All ***** kits for the KLX on eBay were $15 front, and $23 rear shipped.
RockyMountainATV was $11 front and $16 rear plus $7 shipping.
I ended up going with the MOOSE RACING kit from the local shop (glad to give them the business) $10 front, and $18 rear, no shipping charges. Picked them up the next day.
The MOOSE bearings actually turned out to be the All ***** bearings repackaged. The package does say that they are made in China We will see how they work.

I did an emergency buy of bearings for my Zephyr - Fastenal! About $10 for the pair I needed. I ruined one hub and one cush hub bearing when I screwed up and didn't put in the cush hub spacer. The one store near me had the double sealed bearings in stock. So if you ever get in a bind, Fastenal has bearings too. You can even find out what store has them if you look on-line.
