Has anyone with Lester mags swapped the rear bearings, I could do with a little advice to help me remove my old knackered ones. I have done it on my standard wheels but these won't shift even with a bit of heat
Thanks for any help.

I can remove the inner race but I would have to pass on the welding

Try using a rawl bolt to knock the bearing out. I've done it with ones where you couldn't get enough on the bearing to knock it out. Put rawl bolt in, expand it and then knock the whole lot out.

Thanks, I will have a go at that. Clever idea
