Hi all,
Has anyone on this forum changed a set of paralever bearings? How easy/difficult a job is it? and what are the symptoms that they are about to go?
Photo's and links would be very helpful.

Cheers, cobbster

Cobbster mate - you'll need a few tools you probably don't have, like a 30mm socket and a 12mm hex socket but it's really an easy job - takes about an hour

Thanks for the tips lads. Iv'e had a good wiggle of my back end 'ooooeeer missus' and no noticable signs of play. Iv'e heard alot about them going and I was just getting some info on what to do.

Thanks again, cobbster.

I got a local BMW independent mechanic to do the bearings on my 1150GS but I think next time I'll do it myself. Mine felt pretty wobbly but if you can't feel any play I shouldn't worry about it.
