Default Wheel Bearings
Any tips on new wheel bearings (brand, installation, etc) for the rear of my 98 Wide Glide? I think mine need to be replaced.

I might be mistaken but the bearings should be press out on the wheel and the new ones pressed in. Might check with a dealer.

Go the the parts counter and ask for the bearings. Use your calipers and measure the ID/OD. Say thank you and go to the local bearing supplier and tell them you want Timken bearings that size.
