I'm gonna be replacing my tired, OE front discs for some new EBC jobbies over the weekend. Whilst I have the wheel off I'll check the bearings. I haven't noticed an issue with the bearings that are in there, but I have no information to confirm that they've ever been changed and its a 31 yo bike, so I bought some replacements just in case which are currently chilling out in the freezer.
I wondering if I am likely to encounter any problems removing the old bearings without BMW's £8.6M tool (or whatever it costs). In fact I don't have a bearing remover at all.
Anyone done this job without fancy tools (its a 16v - if that makes much difference)?
