PIVOT WORKS Rear Wheel Bearing Kit for GAS GAS TXT 125, TXT 200, TXT 250, TXT 280, TXT 300 2003-2006

The PIVOT WORKS PWRWKG02001 rear wheel bearing kit is designed for GAS GAS TXT 125, TXT 200, TXT 250, TXT 280, TXT 300 from 2003 to 2006. Wheel bearings let the wheel turn on its axle. Off-road, water, mud and the pressure washer attack them: they develop play, seize and can warp the disc or wear the hub. This kit brings together the bearings and oil seals of the rear wheel, so you can rebuild it in one go.

Specifications

• Brand: PIVOT WORKS
• Manufacturer part number: PWRWKG02001

When to replace it?

• Side play when you rock the wheel top and bottom.
• Wheel turning roughly or unevenly, bearing noise.
• Damaged seals, rust or water in the hub.

Check the wheels for play every time you wash the bike. As a Cross-Mania guideline: replace every 40 to 60 hours of racing or muddy riding, about once a year for leisure riding, and straight away as soon as play appears.

Fitting tips

1. Remove the old bearings with a puller or a bearing drift, without damaging the hub bore.
2. Clean the hub, put the new bearings in the freezer and press them in on the outer race only.
3. Refit the central spacer between the bearings: without it, the bearings get crushed when the axle is tightened.
4. Fit the seals squarely, lips packed with grease.
5. Grease the wheel axle and tighten it to the manufacturer's torque, then check that the wheel turns freely.

Frequently asked questions

What does the kit contain?
The bearings and oil seals of the rear wheel, plus the spacers or collars when the model needs them. Compare with the photo and your original parts if in doubt.

Should both bearings be changed?
Yes: they wear together. Changing only one bearing brings the play back very quickly.
