That is a key difference in what tools you might need. If you have a Phil Wood FSA, you need two 5 mm Allen wrenches. If you have an older Phil hub, a hydraulic press is handy. If you have Mavic hubs, yet a different answer. Etc. |

Sealed wheel bearings
Many are just a rubber gasket that doesn't change repair at all.

... Are there any special tools necessary to remove and replace sealed front wheel bearings? Can anyone provide a link to replacement instructions? I am a retired machinist and usually I can reverse think most mechanical items. I found that my dent puller/slide hammer has a 1/4 inch thread on the end. I replaced the self tapping screw with a 1/4 cap screw and the head was small enough to go through the axle hole. I then used the under side of the cap screw and slide hammer around the inner race of the bearing. -- www.billcotton.com |

The wheels are Rolf Vector Comp (standard issue on a 2001 Trek 5200). The
hubs have a Rolf decal on them (no other manufacturer designation). The bearings are 6903RS.
