rear wheel bearings
 

just decided to put new bearings in my dirtstars as there was play in the rear wheel, replaced all three and built back up but still wobbles so i put in a new centre spacer.....still wobbles, i was advised that there was also suposed to be a washer (not retaining clip) that fits behind the inner bearing on sprocket side which i was un sure off but tryed this and no luck (the place also sent a centre spacer aswell which was way to small so i think this may be for a newer model etc) anyways wheel still wobbles as i can feel the spacer move inside hub when bearings are in, anyone any ideas....worn hub maybe?? the bearings on sprocket side just pushed in by hand ,doesnt seem to be play in them but they will fall out if you lean wheel to one side, any help much appreciated:D

On my 99 I shimmed the bearings on the sprocket side to get them nice and snug. I used an old feeler guage for shim stock, it was cheap and had lots of choices for thickness. The spacer should be commpressed between the races of the bearings and should have zero play when all together. Find the parts fiche for your year bike on the Gofasters site and make sure you have all the right parts. I could see your hub wearing to the point where the bearing might not be a tight slip fit anymore but the hub would be visibly trashed to produce the amount of play I think you are describing.

im baffled :o lol, the bearings that came out were 1x 6005 1x6505 and 1x6004, the replacements ive been sent are 1x6005 and 2x 6004, anyone got the correct number bearings on a 2004 ec250 ,the bearings seat properley but theres still play in the centre spacer:mad: anyone no what length they are suposed to be coz mine are coming up short a good 2-4mm and will not seat against the bearings

sorted, hub was trashed, thanks peb:D
