Topic: '76 750F - replacing front wheel bearings. Need other parts?

[Tugboat]

Replacing my wheel bearings next week while I'm replacing the tire. What else do I need besides the o-ring (91302-300-000) and bearings?

[OldSchool_IsCool]

I like to replace the retainer ring too or at least have a ready replacement on hand in case I have to get cheeky with the old one.

OK - so what do folks use as replacement bearings? The All Balls kit?

[mjstone]

All Balls is the way to go!  I did both front and rear as well as going with their tapered steering head bearings, last winter.  Just follow the very good post here on the Forum and it shouldn't be too bad a job.

If you look on the parts fiche, you'll see the standard bearing number, usually inside a pair of ().  I take that number to my local bearing shop and 95% of the time they have them in stock.

All Balls.  Quick & easy. Double sealed bearings. Comes with the grease seal.
(The one time I went to the local bearing shop their prices were considerably more than the All Balls kit for similar quality parts.)

+1 on having an extra retainer ring handy

What about this kit from Z1?

Tug... I just go down to the local bearing shop and get 'em.  Much less expensive than Honda.  (Don't know about the all balls price)
