Thanks Alleyoop, going to work today I notice a thumbing and scraping, I got my friend from church come and haul my scoot home.

Got wheel off trying to get bearings out there is a spacer in my axle, so its hard to hammer out the bearing, now I can push the spacer a side some what, got any ideas (I have the mc-54-250b roketa scooter).

Got them out, now where to buy them?

Get the number off of them and google for bearings with that number. You will get a lot of hits they are very common size.

Same ride and when I replaced my front tire those bearings just poped out and regressed them. Thats pretty weird that its just stuck in there and you cant get it out.

I just did it until I thought it was tight lol no torque wrench too poor.

The one came out pretty easy, but the other was hard. Just waiting for bearings to come (hopefully today) thanks.

When I took my front wheel off I put two jacks on the front metal part where the wheel goes. I then put the back on its stand.

I hope you get back out and ride. This scooter loves the Wisconsin Cold. I am going to ride it till it snows 5 inches probably.

I rode about all winter last year, hope to do the same this year, (Have fun and ride safe). I have miner on a car jack, board on top and I have it on the center stand. The bearings I got are sealed.
