Subject: Re: Rear Bearings RD07


On my 93 @ the rear right bearing broke at about 35.000kms. I only changed that one. Now at 84.000kms the other left bearing and the bearing in the sprocket is still OK. 

But it is a good idea to change the sealing (Norwegian: Simring) to avoid dirt coming in. 


Why does the right bearng break first? Just an idea: When driving Grossglockner with passenger this summer, I used the brakes so hard that the rear brake got hot and stopped working. It was very very hot. Also the center of the wheel where the bearing is. I burned my finger when touching where the bearing is mounted! And at that time i could hear noise from the bearing and stopped. The noise disappeared when it cooled down. This can not be very good to the bearings.
