My rear wheel's hub is loose in the rim, and has about 1/2" of play in the spokes in the rim. Dealer says spokes are siezed in the nipples, and there straight spokes, so they spin. Dealer wants $220 for spokes and $180 for labor. Well, I can get spokes for $3 a pop, but I think I can break them free...any advice?
Also, my (3) rear bearings are siezed up. This happens ALL the time, anyone know why? I plan on getting my parts online from Service Honda: http://www.servicehonda.com/HARD PARTS/OFF ROAD/CR250 '90-'96/rear_wheel_'92-'96.htm ...but I have questions about the collars (part 5), and the bearing retainer (part 2).
Should the collars be grooved when brand new, or are they worn from spining inside the dust seals? Do mine need replacing if they are grooved? How about the front wheel collars?
I don't see that I have the bearing retainer in my rear wheel. Supposedly it's on the side with the single bearing, and sits between the bearing and the seal, but I don't see where theres room for it, and it looks like it's the same size as the seal. Should my 96 have this? When I put the bearing in, and the seal in, their no room left.
Finally, how do you know when seals need replacing? Thanks!!!
