    How do I remove the bearings on my front wheel. I got a typh 125 2 stroke. Need to get them sprayed, is the easiest option a puller? What size would I need?

    All you need is a drift (long steel bar)and hammer to knock them out, put the bar through one bearing lever it over slightly to move center spacer over a bit then give it a whack until it's out!

    So I'll need a long enough drift to put in from one side and get to the other side to whack it out?

    Yes, as you've probably found the outer spacer is only held in a little. When you drit the bearing out, work round the bearing not just on one side.

    Cool cheers, I ain't had a detailed look in a while but from what I can remember the outer spacer partially stuck in which was quite wobbly. I'm assuming once I knock the bearing out from the inside, that outer spacer will pop out to? Soz for the newby q's.
    Do many places stock front wheel bearings and new spacers for the old 2 stroke 125s?

    You won't need a new spacer and the bearings are common as muck! 6201's if I remember right, any bearing stockist will have them on the shelf, only a few £££'s.
