Eee, you can tell the Pro 2 was designed in Yorkshire. "What's the best way to change the bearings?"

"HAMMMEEERRR!"

@fix0the0spade yes, a Birmingham screwdriver undoes most things....!

i must say i was dissapointed with the hoep pro 2 rear hub 135mm 10mm qr rear hub. Mine arrived on my bike and had very noticable amounts of play in the rear wheel when moved by hand and im not sure if mine was faulty or the desing flaw or the hub. I compared it to a standard shimano deore hub and this was far more solid. I am going to try the 135mm 10mm thru axle conversion and see if this helps. anybody else have this issue with rear qr pro 2 hib

@Lunarlaserranging that's not good is it? I've used hope hus for years an they have been fine. I think my rear is now 7 years old...

think what you like everyone, but if you hit the bearings in with a socket that fits around the outside of the bearing, there is no damage at all and it can be done safely and with no problems.. A bearing press is nice if you have one, but fitting bearing races like this is perfectly acceptable.

TOP TIP: Although you can only see a small area of the bearing lip from the inside, once you tap that small area on your first hit or two, the spacer tube will drop down and give you a much larger area to strike. (you can only force these bearings out from inside as they both sit against a lip for correct seating) EASY

I did my specialized hub with no knowledge of how to do it, tryed to copy this video and one side went in great although the other bearing went in a bit dodgy, struggled to get it out first time so left it, my axle gets a bit stiff when you put it in butjust bang it in tighten it up away she goes, loosen it get a flat head and press against the fork to work the stiff bit out then pull out and thats worked fine with no play for over a year going good ;)
