Goto GOOGLE and type in Banshee shop manual...You can download and print a free copy of a manual from several shareware sites...That's what I did..Don't recall which site I used though..

Don't be afraid it is really a lot easier than you would expect

 

all you gotta do it take the left side wheel and hub off, then get the axle nuts off (sounds funnier than it is), take the sprocket hub off, the brake caliper, then the axle should slide out the right side, if not, use cave man skills and a big hammer, make sure you put the hub nut on flush with the end of the axle. and use a two by four or rubber mallet, don't whack the end of the axle with a metal hammer or you will be buying a new axle. the bearings come out easy by putting a long punch or ratchet extension through to the other side and beat them out.... put the new bearings back in and put everything back together...

 

some will suggest also adding a grease zerk at this point, but i figure my bearings lasted a long time with out one, and for the $20 bucks i will just replace them again in 5 or 6 years.

 

good luck.

put the bearings in and take off the inner seal of the beaering so the rollers are exposed and put a grease zerk fitting.. that way the grease can go in the bearings.. the grease aids in keeping the water out also for the trail riders. hittin puddles..

This is why I love round carriers, just toss the carrier in the oven at 400* for 15 minuets and tap it on a 2x4 and the bearings fall right out.

 

I have never tried it with the stock carrier, but the idea is that the aluminum expands faster than the bearings, thus they will fall out when heated. You can use this trick to install yours for sure. Put your bearings in the freezer about a hour, then heat the carrier for 15 minuets in the oven at 400*. When the carrier is well done, pull it out and drop the bearings right in. Make sure they are seated all the way as it cools, or you will be driving them in after it cools, and that's what your trying not to have to do. I hate to have to hammer on new bearings, and bearing races. I use this trick on every thing, including trailer wheel bearing races and truck bearing races.

i WILL suggest poping the plastic out of the bearings and installing a grease zirc. in dry locations, the grease already in the bearings will last for quite a while, but in wet locations, it's nice to flush the crap out and keep fresh grease running through them, not to mention keeping the seals greased up and hubs from rusting. both my hubs were pitted to shit and killed the seals. if you want to do the heat seat trick, i would do one or the other, but not the freezer and oven/heatgun. good way to warp/crack an aluminum carier....
