Rear wheel bearing replacement
Remove the rearmost 3 body panel bolts on both sides. The upper one
on each side should have a rubber spacer between the panel and the
chassis;
Lift the rear of the buggy off the ground on suitable blocks;
Rotate the rear wheel until the removable chain link is visible – it is
easiest to remove adjacent to the rear sprocket. Remove the spring clip
and plate, then remove the joining link, and remove the chain;
On both sides remove the 2 x 14mm wheel shaft nuts;
Starting on the brake side, remove the 2 x 8mm bolts attaching the
caliper to its mounting bracket. Lift the brake caliper out of the way
(handbrake should be off, and NB brake should not be operated while
caliper is not on the disc);
Remove the 2 x 10mm locknuts from the bolts attaching the caliper
bracket to the chassis, and then remove the 2 x 8mm bolts (the bracket
will remain attached to the buggy as the rear wheel shaft passes through
it);
On both sides remove the 2 x 13mm locknuts from the bolts situated in
front of the wheel shaft, and then remove the 2 x 10mm bolts;
Now remove the wheel to the rear of the buggy;
Make a note of the order / position of the components on the shaft on
either side of the wheel. NB the spacers are of different sizes – they need
to be replaced in the correct position in order that the wheel runs
centrally.;
The wheel bearings should be removed by hitting the end of the shaft
with a soft faced mallet or similar. Once one is removed, use the shaft to
drive the second one out. Note the direction that the shaft is inserted in
the wheel in order that it can be replaced in the same way;
Reassemble the wheel using the new bearings – if necessary drive the
new bearings onto the shaft using an appropriate piece of pipe / socket
etc.;
Reassembly is the reverse of dismantling. It may be easier to re-install the
chain if you slacken both adjusters to allow the wheel to go forward into
the chassis slightly. NB do not tighten any of the bolts until you are happy
with the chain tension.
