    Has anyone had any experience changing the rear wheel bearings on a Fat Boy? I had the left one collapse and the bearing spacers on the right side were chewed up! If anyone has any advice on how this is done it would be appreciated.

    If you have access to an arc welder you can lay a bead of weld on the inside of the outer race, the race shrinks and will fall out. You will need to set the end play as either you had no grease in the bearing or no endplay to make it seize. You will need a dial guage to achieve .002 to .006 thou. ps dont apply grease until you have established the correct endplay.
