Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first remove the old, worn bearings from your wheel hub using a soft mallet or a bearing press tool. Ensure the housing is clean and free of grit before inserting the new Petrolscooter bearings. Verify that the 35mm outer diameter seats firmly within the housing and that the 16mm bore accommodates your axle without excessive play. For long-term care, wipe the exposed surfaces with a clean cloth periodically to prevent dust buildup. While these are heavy-duty, avoid submerging the bearings in water or corrosive chemicals, as this can degrade the internal lubrication. If the wheel begins to squeak or exhibits 'wobble,' inspect the seating immediately to prevent axle damage.
