Wheel Bearing

[Rev Jules]

how difficult is it to change a suspect rear wheel bearing on a ZT-T??

Very easy repair, remove rear caliper, disc assembly. Remove the hub itself as this is the bearing also. Rear bearings dont play up that often imo, more likely to be uneven tread wear, where by the tread blocks lift and look like a saw tooth.

Looks like this (it's not mine btw)

I had to replace one of mine about 6-7 months ago as grumbling.

The bearing had failed big time on mine, so when I took the hub off, the bearing was in bits with the inner-race solidly attached to the shaft. Took a bit of careful work with an angle grinder to remove it.

All in all, took about an hour, so not too bad really.
