Just a quick update ! Managed to get the old bearings out without too much trouble and replace (without hitting the inner bearing at all)- I had read about this but thanks anyway for the tip jjrider
Only disappointing thing was that one of the new dust seals was too big ! 44mm outside diameter instead of the one it was replacing which was 40mm. A new one is on its way to me, but this post is just to make people aware of the different size.
The guy from Wemoto says they've sold hundreds of this bearing kit with no problems, and it is marked suitable for xt600e 99-03. The hub on mine looks to be original, so I was wondering if anyone else has had or heard of this issue?
Cheers
Bill
P.s. Some little thieving scrote came close to having it away with my xt in the night! Disc lock stopped them and the steering lock has been strained quite badly but managed to hold luckily!
