If I start with FFS, you might get an idea of how it went.
I separated the cush drive from the wheel and looking into the cush drive I could see its a spacer, seal, two bearings and a spacer, the inner one I had to remove with a slide hammer.
I tried removing the bearings with my bearing puller and heat with zero movement, then went out to my small press and pushed them out successfully. You’ll see from the photos the state they were in and both were seized. The only come out from one way so make sure you’ve got the cush drive upside down, as there’s a lip on the inside.
Next to the wheel, removed the cush drive rubbers and an o-ring then lots of heat and managed to get both bearings out with my bearing puller. Again both bearings were shot.
Also several of the spacers I’ve encountered so far have such tight tolerances that they’re a press fit and most have worn through the anodising.
I’ve ordered new bearings, Koyo, and seals from an online bearing shop. details are –
2 – 6205RS bearings – wheel
2 – 6006RS bearings – cush drive
1 – 40-55-5 seal – couldn’t find any of these, so went with 40-55-6, which should be ok
1 – 52-32- 7 seal
Getting really disappointed with the fit and condition of parts on the bike. It is potentially that unicorn bike, but not that well put together or the previous owner wasn’t very good at maintenance??
