wheel bearings

Anyone tell me the numbers for rear wheel bearings for an 85 wr 400 twin shocker??

6302 rs..dont forget to grease em!

im dyslexic, I thought they were 6203... thx

yep, i do the same thing. i have a sheet that lists all husky bearings i made

good idea

do you repack your new bearings? amazing sometimes how little grease is in em..i pop the seals out, prying with a razor blade on the outer edge, so as not to hurt its sealing ability. flush em out with parts wash or brake clean, then i pack em with bel ray waterproof grease. i dont quite pack wheel bearings completely full as they spin pretty fast but other stuff i pack to the max..havent had any problems with a seal coming back off or anything..bearings started lasting a hell of a lot longer after i started doing this. saw some other guys doing this on here too..

no.... never bothered. sounds like a good idea though.

I replaced the wheel bearings about 10 years ago doing this. So far .... still perfect.
I am amazed at how little grease is in the cheaper bearings. I use FAG, SKF or Timkin. These have a bit more, but still have non-waterproof grease.

yeah, sometimes there is actually some in there, but who knows what it is? i know the bel ray stuff will handle water. i know when a bearing does go bad anywhere, its DRY inside

I have always done this [ tool used is a hacksaw blade sharpened to a fine pointy end , blade shape ] and have never had a bearing problem.
I automatically pop the seal and repack every sealed bearing I come across.

wish I had done the chain tensioner rollers the inside one pooohed itself and wore my arm half away

what grease do you use? i heard many good things about bel ray waterproof grease...been using it for awhile now and am very impressed..you ride alot in the water too suprize..

Yeah, the Harrow river water and the mud around there has a salt component im thinking as its shot my wheel, chain roller and tensioner to bits!. everyone complains about everything dying if they don't tear the bike down after the event!

Great advice, I was shown how to flip seals out of bearings about 35 years ago and it has served me well ever since, btw is it true that every manufacturer has a tub of really high quality grease that they never open and wave over every new bike on the assembly line?

here is the HONDA part# for those bearings . 96150-63020-10 if you have a HONDA shop near by.

I got new double sealed bearings. I pryed off the seals, repacked with waterproof grease, and put the seals back on. Well worth the 10 minutes it took to clean out the crap grease and pack with the good stuff.

Over a year since I posted above, and guess what ..... the bearings are still perfect ! I have found that the chain roller bearings need doing every time I ride it as they are sooo small and crap ! I really need to find the number for those little ones that have the inner sleeve longer than the outer, so that they fit nicely into the roller. At least I could then find a better quality one.

I wash the factory grease out and repack both sides with Belray waterproof grease.
But they only last 2 months when your ride hard every Sunday... Its the one weakness of my 80s bikes that i hate, at least the they are only 10 bucks each.

at least its super easy to change bearings on the swedes...no circlips or threaded retainers...love that bel ray grease.
