Checking Whether Wheel Bearing is Damaged

●Use the jack to lift the front wheel up from the floor (see
"Disassembling/ Installing Tire" in the "Wheel/Tire" chapter).
●Rotate the handle to the rightmost or leftmost side.
●Shake the wheel frame to both sides [A] with both hands to check
whether there is axial clearance in the front wheel bearing.
●Rotate the front wheel [B] gently to see whether the wheel can be
rotated smoothly, whether it is difficult to rotate or whether there is
unusual resistance or noise.
★If it is found that the wheel is difficult to rotate and there is
resistance or noise, remove the front wheel and check the wheel
bearing (see "Disassembling Front Wheel and Checking Hub
Bearing" in the "Wheel/Tire" chapter).
●Lift the rear wheel up from the ground with brackets (see
"Disassembling Rear Wheel" in "Wheel/Tire" chapter).
●Shake the wheel frame to both sides [A] with both hands to check
whether there is axial clearance in the rear wheel bearing.
●Rotate the rear wheel [B] gently to see whether the wheel can be
rotated smoothly, whether it is difficult to rotate or whether there is
unusual resistance or noise.

resistance or noise, remove the rear wheel and check the wheel
bearing (see "Disassembling Rear Wheel and Checking Hub Bearing"
in the "Wheel/Tire" chapter) and axle sleeve (see "Checking Axle
