suspension wheel bearings

[snomo53]

I need help...At 4800 miles...all 6 of my lower suspension wheels on my 07 Apex GT are toast. I have purchased General Bearing Corp. 6005-88-30E bearings, but I can't get the old ones out with my socket and BFH method. Can the bearings be removed and replaced???....thanks....tm

I dont think the stock wheels have replacable bearings, they are molded into the wheel. If you don't see a snap ring or retainer on one side you must buy a new wheel and bearing, about $22.00 each.

Here's a pic of idler w/replaceable bearing, it has to have a "C" clip check the pic out you'll see the "C" clip w/small eyelets that you insert a special pair of pliers to compress it to remove it to release the bearing then w/the use of you socket and hammer you punch it out and replace with your new bearing.

RTXRider and apltx08
are correct. Replace the original idlers with these;

Your 6005 bearing will fit in them when its time to replace bearings again.

Apexg88,

I agree on using the NTN bearings rather than the cheaper Chinese ones.
