Honda XR 125 L - Rear wheel bearing change

Hi all

I’m going to go ahead and change the rear wheel bearings on the XR next weekend.

Is there any special tools needed apart from the obvious like a tool Honda make or is it just a normal bearing change?

It’s annoying they don’t do a Haynes manual for this bike!

Thanks
Jeff

No, no special Honda tools required.
Drift out old bearings, press in new ones, that's what I did on my XL!

Done

For anyone attempting this, it was a straight forward bearing change. Just one seal on one side (The bearing and seal kit usually comes with a seal for each bearing)

Remove seal and discard, drift out both bearings and replace.
