Brilliant! One of my rear pivots is toasted on my Trek EX-7 and due to the current pandemic, the Trek store told me service appointments are a minimum of three weeks out. Replacement bearings will be here Saturday and I have all the other tools needed. Thanks!
Just did mine this afternoon. Did all the ones on the pivot link while I was at it. After a week of creaking like bed springs, it is spooky quiet now. One of the rear pivots fell onto the floor in pieces when I unscrewed it. Thanks again!
Good, no frills video. I've done this job with sockets, but the "old bearing tool" is a great tip! I used washers for that, but it's frustrating trying to find the perfect size. Thanks.
This works for the pivot points on the chain stay near the axle. But what can I do for all the other points where the bearings are too close together to fit a c clamp?
Thanks for the great tips, minus the appalling lack of safety though. Damn, that bit when you used the cutter while holding it with your fingers, Jesus Christ! fella 😳😬😅
I have a low in Kent full suspension mountain bike in on the rear single pivot it has a bushing instead of a bearing I know unbelievable can that bushing be replaced with a bearing
Saving this video. Hard to believe the cost of these specialized bearing tools when a couple sockets and old races will do the trick. Thanks for this.
Thanks for taking the time to show us how to change the bearings and save money at the same time.

I'm in exactly the same boat. This video was great.

Great video. Love the bearing press tool idea!
Great video! Straight to the point. Legend 🤙
Love the video, brilliant tip thanks.
2:42 went through me though, surely the odds are against you for not losing a finger.
Thanks so much. Been looking for some way to avoid the stupid cost of bearing replacement kits.
Top video mate, thanks.
Will use this method, Thanks

Great video, cheers
Great video, sounds like Casey Affleck was narrating the process. 🍺🚲
Excellent!!
I just used a Kniper Plier Wrench for the smaller bearings.

You have to be careful with some bearings as the outer race is very narrow. Your socket might look OK but actually be too small due to the chamfer.
Taking them out was easy, but I had a hard time getting the new ones to go in straight.
Put them in the freezer overnight first drop straight in
you could have used the c clamp to hold the outer race while you were cutting it! save your fingers!
nice video except the Dremel part.
02:00 he got us
i love youu man ! nc idea
