Rear Hub bearings

Post by Fred Ralston »

I took the rear wheel wheel off my R75/6, for the first time since I got it.
Decided to repack the rear bearings.
Do the tapered wheel bearings really both go the same way in.
In auto hubs, usually one goes in one direction and the other in the opposite direction.
Have I reassembled it wrong or what?
Thanks,
Fred R.

Hi Fred,

Yes, one goes in one direction, and one in the other direction as you are used to. Taper goes towards the center of the hub on both sides.

Best regards,
