Bearing Replacement:
Master Bearing Tool Kit Diagram:
IMPORTANT - Read and thoroughly comprehend these instructions prior to
beginning. Doing so will save you time in the long run and help keep your Felt frame
running smoothly and safely.
Tools required:
Loctite 242 (Thread Locker)
Anti-Seize Lubricant/Compound
4mm, 5mm and 6mm Allen (hex) wrench
Torque wrench (Metric) with 5 and 6mm hex bit
10mm, 12mm and 15mm open wrench

Rubber/plastic faced hammer
X-acto knife or dental pick
Cleaner/degreaser
Acetone or similar solvent
Q-Tip or similar
Frame Disassembly:
1. CLEAN YOUR BIKE!! Even if you clean your bike regularly, clean it again. Dirt
and contaminants including oil and grease will affect the reassembly of the frame
components and could prevent bearings from seating correctly and could also keep
the Loctite from curing.
2. After correctly mounting your bike in a work stand (Remember to NEVER clamp any
part of the frame in a repair stand!), remove the wheels, rear derailleur, rear brake
caliper, crank set and BB. The fewer components on the frame the easier it will be for
you to work on!
3. Loosen each pivot bolt, but do not remove any hardware yet.
4. Deflate the shock, remove the shock mounting bolts and set the shock to the side.
5. Remove the seatstay axle and bolt assemblies that attach the rear triangle to the
linkage. Be sure to not lose the Acetyl Thrust Washers that fit between the Links and
the Seatstay Yoke.
6. Now remove the bearing axle from the Chainstay Yoke. The rear triangle should be
free from the frame. Be careful to not lose any stainless steel spacer washers.
7. Remove the bolts from the shock links. Be careful to catch the Acetyl Thrust
Washers between the link and the frame. The shock link plates should now be free
from the frame.
Note: Not all tools from the master tool kit will be needed for this model
of Felt Bicycle and may not be included in your bike’s tool kit.
