See how to replace the front wheel bearings on a Honda Rancher in this video from Partzilla.com. How do you know you need to replace the wheel bearings on your ATV? Well, one tell-tale sign is that you can wiggle the wheel around a good bit. That could mean it’s time for them to go.

John will show you how to remove the hub first. This will involve getting the wheel off, removing the brake caliper, and then disconnecting the upper and lower ball joints. Then, we’ll pull the old seals using our seal puller and then remove the bearing. Next, we’ll use a bearing press set from Motion Pro to get the new wheel bearings in place, and then we’ll replace the seals.

Then, we’ll get everything back together.
