distance sleeve sits inbetween these two bearings to prevent them from being pulled together when
tightening the axle. When the distance sleeve doesn´t have the approved length anymore, the rings
are pressed against the balls of the bearing, causing sluggish behaviour of the bearings which
leads to their quick destruction. This concludes, that not only the wheel bearings need to be
checked, but also the distance sleeve (Turning the wheel with loosened and tightened axle),
because both can be responsible for sluggish behaviour of the wheel.
How to remove the bearings:
1.
Remove wheel (see section 2.351).
2.
Dismantle rear hub as described in section 2.341.
3.
Hammer the axle out including the left hand side wheel bearing.
4.
Pull out right bearing, using a puller. The new bearings need to be well lubed.
Installation is done in reverse order.
