Sorry to hear it didn't go according to plan. I'm used to that,my stuff never works like I want it to. On the bearing repack,are you talking about the wheel bearings? Reason I ask is there are pretty tough to get out. You might wanna consider just putting new bearings in there if budget allows.Its alot of work with how they have those cross spacers in there. I skimped and reused my old bearings as long as I could.Too long actually. I was coming home one night when I felt a twitch in the handlebars. It did it a couple times.I finally realized it was one of my front wheel bearings trying to lock up on me. That woulda sucked at freeway speeds.I had a set for the new bike on the shelf,so i replaced them that night. Front wheel bearing/seal kits run about $17 shipped and rears ( with all 3 bearings) run around $35 shipped. Just a suggestion.That is,if we are even on the same page
