so i am replacing my chain and while doing so i decided to check the bearings in the rear wheel. unfortunatley, the right bearing was worn and the outer metal of the bearing actually fused itself to the wheel. I am planning on just taking the wheel to the dealer when i order the bearings, but in the mean time if anyone has any tips or previous experience with this type of problem let me know.

It can be a bitch to remove the bearing if you don''t have the right tools. Especially if it''s fused like you said. How do you know it is fused? They are pressed in to wheel. Anyway, if you think it''s messed up then I would let the shop deal with it, they have the right tools.

shops going to use a hammer and a punch to get it out, and to get it back in, theyll most likely use a hammer and a socket, unless they have a press on hand (which alot of motorcycle shops do not) but thats the way shes done.
