So I went out to fire up the sled for my first ride but something caught my eye. The idler wheels,,both of them,, had popped off the inside of the skid. No bearings in sight. The idler wheels are stock and they don't seem to be in bad shape for 2500 miles on them. I was wondering the size of the bearing since I can't seem to find either bearing anywhere and can't find any info online. I was also wondering if I should replace the wheels since there seem to be better quality ones on the market these days. Really,,I just want to get out and ride ASAP. I'm not sure how difficult it is to replace these bearings. Is it easier to replace the bearings or new wheels with bearings? I have a 2009 Vector LTX GT. Any info is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!!

I find those wear the quickest for some reason?
I do mine every year, regrease or replace as required.
This link will help.

Thank you Irv!! Exactly the info I was looking for but couldn't find. I'm going to give my sled an oil change and replace the bearings and I should be good to go for the season. I appreciate your help!! Thank you!
