maybe its just me but does £50 to fit a front wheel bearing sound a bit eccessive? this doesnt even include taking the wheel off the bike or fitting it back on, i have to do that myself!

Is that parts and labour or just labour?

Upto £20 parts depending if they're OE or not. Labour charges suck.

Fifteen if you buy a new drift too Wink

The kawasaki dealers in Carlisle charged my mate £16 EACH for wheel bearings for his GPZ500s. I told him to take them back and we got better ones for £3.50 at the bearing factors.

Yes that is including parts aswell but he told me the bearing would only be £8! so how would i go about getting the old bearing out if i decided to do it myself? or is this not such a wise idea? cheers for all your help lads Thumbs Up

i payed about a tenner to get front and rear wheel bearings from the bearing makers place for my Gilera GSM Razz

and just hit the old ones out with a speedway bikes rear axle, to get back in just make sure they are straight, and put a rubber mallet on them gentally Smile
