John Ramsay Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Please excuse me if this enquiry seems pitifully simple. I bought my 6 year old grandson a maverick ION DT for Xmas and discovered that as soon as he started crashing it, I needed to become competent at repairing the thing! I confess I have begun to quite enjoy doing it. However, he has developed a problem in the rear diff (MV 28016) one wheel no longer spins properly. I have the diff out, but cannot easily remove the bearings 28030 and am scared of breaking the whole assembly. Can anyone advise how to get the bearings off please? Is it just brute force and a pair of pliers? And what should the whole assembly be Iubricated with when I put it back together? many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajadre Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Try and get a thin flat screwdriver between the bearing and the case and gentle twist go around the bearing as it moves up etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Ramsay Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 Many thanks for the fast response. I will try that :) I must say, I don't understand what role those bearings play since they appear to be fixed solid. Do they just act as oil seals?

Gampla Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Bearing are used to help with the part rotating on the chassis think of it as a small car in some cases the diff/transmission case has bearings to make the drive line run smooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
