I'll bet you felt really good when you finally saw that the old bearings were actually starting to come out! Good job! Ed

Good thing you got some pictures of that shinny wheel, cause as soon as you lube that chain and ride it, well you better get used to cleaning it. :laugh:

Good going gwolever! I have a set of bearings waiting to be installed. When I first saw your posting on I wanted to see how you finally get them out before tackling mine. Still not looking forward to doing it but your success is encouraging. As for the chain lube, I'm using this Dupont Chain Lube . You let it try 30 minutes before riding and don't get the sticky mess like some of the older lubes.
