I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you talking about removing the pedal sprocket on the rear wheel? If so, you need to make yourself a spanner socket to remove it. That is a rare thing to go bad. They are directional bearings that should turn in one direction but not the other. If your's does this and there isn't any play in the bearing then you don't have a bad pedal sprocket bearing.

Chris,

Try soaking the bearing in paint thinner and spinning the bearing. Keep doing this and maybe the old grease and dirt will loosen up and come out of the bearing. Blow it dry with an air hose and inject some oil into the bearing. I looked at the sprocket and bearing you refer to and it looks to me that you will destroy the bearing trying to take the sprocket off. I think the sprocket is the outer race of the bearing by the way the metal seal covers right out to the sprocket edge.

Hi, fellow mopeders! I spent 4hrs. today replacing the rear wheel bearings on my MOTOMARINA Sebring.Boy,were they shot! While I was at it I cleaned up the brakes and adjusted everything.It has the loose 1/4 " ball bearings and I overtightened them some so that when I test rode it I noticed about a 5 m.p.h. loss in general. I'll fix that tomorrow. I forgot to mention that I also replaced the bearing races.One ball bearing was broken neatly in half and was responsible for a 25 m.p.h. + vibration that felt like the tranny was going bad.But it's o.k. now! BYE!
