it finally happened wheel bearing falure

[Phxbuller]

my front wheel started making noise the other day, I thought major it was my rotor, but it was getting worse and worse. So I had a couple of buddies lift up my front end and it's bad. Lots of play side to side. And don't want to spin. Had to ride it home a couple of miles but made it, probably tree most scared I've ever ridden. And ponged know of the "best" bearing got high heat?

Yeah I replaced mine a while back. I over torqued them we believe and one is bad. I'm gonna buy a new spacer when i buy replacements.

what year/model bike? what color bearings? SKF is a top brand

 

[Phxbuller]

I have a xb12r 04, with 66zxz miles on it, wheel spacers noted will be sure to get thoughts.

 

[Phxbuller]

Oh color I think they are orange

 

[Phxbuller]

does any one know if they are the original ones?

The "old" ones had a black colored seal. The Orange colored seals identify them as the updated ones.
