Wheel Bearings
« on: 15.07. 2013 11:27 »
Front wheel bearings on my 51 A10 are "LS 7" or something like that, and appear to be the original ones. I can get the same bearing, having the same number, from my local supplier which is a sealed bearing. It has been suggested to me that I should remove the seal on the inside of these bearings and pack the hub with grease.
Should I do this or run the bearings as they are?
Thanks Russ

What Brian said, Russ.
Usually supplied as RLS7. The rear uses 2 RLS7 & 1 RLS8.
