stevet 0 #1 Posted May 9, 2008 Can anyone tell me if the front wheel bearings on an RJ 58 are ball bearings or bushings? Can they be removed? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
linen beige 15 #2 Posted May 9, 2008 The originals were what are refered to as "pig iron". Wheel Horse called them bearings but they are actually bushings. They should just press right out, but due to rust on the inside of the hub a few love taps might be needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sorekiwi 761 #3 Posted May 9, 2008 It's a cast iron type material. My wheels were really rusty, but they came out quite easily. Mine were also very worn, I bored them out to take flanged bronze bushes which has worked well so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
