Anyone have any experience of replacing the bearings in the hubs of Token
rear wheels. A friend of mine bought a pair of these wheels in Australia
about two years ago. The rims are C30A and the hubs are - well it looks like
C.C.Lira but the graphic art work is so stylised as to make it virtually
unreadable. However there is readable identification mark - TK195-07L. The
wheels have bladed spokes.

The seals have completely failed on one of the 4 bearings and the bearing
has corroded so badly that it has broken up.

If it is possible to replace the bearings does anyone know where I could get
hold of a set in the UK and how difficult the replacement job might be. It
looks as though it would simply be - press the old ones out and the new ones
in.

That's about it. Punch the old ones out from behind with whatever you
don't care about. I use an old screwdriver and a mallet. Then press in
the new ones with a block of wood and a hammer/mallet, making sure
that everything's even and flush. Just a couple minutes time. Grease
the outside of the bearing--as it's steel friction fit in alu--which
could otherwise chemically weld together.
