need to change a rear stub axle cos its a bit bent, but how do you remove the bearing from it cos the ones i've ordered online look like they come without the bearing. tried to pull it off but it seems completely stuck on.... can you help?

I had the same problem mate, bent mine also.

The bearings do come off, i had to use force to get mine out - thought i was gonna mess it up but i won in the end.

tried forcing it and it fell apart. ordered new bearings and axels. hope it will just slide on being new......

that's the same thing that I did when I killed my bearings from lack of maitanence, I just gave up on one of the axels.

the bar itself looks straight, but it leaves the plastic moulding at an angle as if its bent inside or the plastic broken down, either way its had its day.

I couldn't figure out why my back wheels were wobbling like crazy.

The rear stub axle looked straight to me until i put it in a drill and when i turned the drill it was definately not true.

I wish there were some titanium ones i could upgrade to.
