I have a noise from my rear wheel, so I assume, it must be the bearing.
Can anyone point me to how I change the rear wheel bearing.
I sure it a simple procedure to change.
Thanks

Hi Dan,

I haven't done one of these so can't help directly. I'm sure someone who has will be along soon. 'A noise from the rear wheel', could be several things - why do you think it is the bearing? A bearing would make a noise that increases with wheel speed. Any other clues you've noticed about the noise that would help others be convinced it was a bearing?

Its not the easisest of things to do DIY,not that its technically hard just physically exhaustive,its one of those jobs a good old fashioned mechanic can do with the right tools in no time.
