rear wheel bearing

[TKM]

 Good afternoon
 I have a slight rumble more of a feel than a noise in what i think is the rear wheel when i bank left. Thought i would change rear bearings when i replace the tires---reading the Clymer  repair manual it says to use the Kowa Seiki  wheel bearing removal set . I found another set  ,but not sure what size to order-anyone

When my wheel bearing went belly up, I just used a heat gun and a punch.  Heat up the wheel around the bearing til it's good and warm, then just tap from the back side. Just about falls out.

Or.....I rent ($9.00) a slide hammer from Auto Zone.  Sometimes they let me use it for free if I bring the wheel there.  Either way its a safe easy way to remove the bearings

Before you go tearing your wheel off, make sure its not scalloped tread on the tyre causing that noise.

If these bikes are run with less than 40psi in the rear tyre it will llead to scalloped tread, resulting in rumble/grumble/vibration in turns.

Pump your tyre up to 42psi and see if the noise is reduced. If so, you can be 90% sure the wheel bearing is ok.
