Today I pulled my rear wheel to get the tire changed. Checked the bearings and found I couldn't turn either of them by hand. I can turn them with tools and they feel like the balls are square. Has anybody removed them before ? Nothing about it in the manual. I have the front tire off for a new baloney as well. Those bearings feel fine but wondering if I should change them as well. The bearings are pretty standard. What I'm afraid of in the front is the seals. I have to pull the seals to get the bearing numbers. If I eff them up I could be waiting a long time for parts (haven't checked availability yet) any thoughts, particularly on getting the old bearings out ?
