Re: ST1300-Rear Flange Bearing Replacement
79500 miles... not so bad. The main wheel bearings still feel and sound fine.
How were any balls missing? My flange bearings were sandwiched with the open side of the bearings facing each other. No where for the balls to go. Now they did fall out once I seperated the two bearings.I just got around to replacing the flange bearings, as I stated when the dealer said they were bad I didn't believe him. When I got them off it was obvious, about a third of the balls were missing. I'm glad I replaced them now instead of having them fail later on a trip.
The procedure is quite simple and can be done in about a hour.
