Got the rear wheel off and no way can I turn the bearings that are in the rim by hand, the cush drive one is fine.
I'm going to swap them out, just wondering if there is any tricks to replacing them as nothing is in the manual.

Cheers,
 
Ok I just drifted them out no problem . You can buy a bearing installer kit made up of differant size cups to in stall or you couuld make some up.I used some cups and threaded rod to pull mine back in.
 
Thanks Pedro, I have the gear at work to do it, just wanted to know if anything tricky before I got into it.

All done and sorted, The old bearings were ok but nothing like being sure.
I did pop the seals off the new bearings and they had very little grease in them so I washed them out and repacked them before installing them.
