07 Predator 500 front wheel bearings
The front right wheel bearing on my 07 Predator 500 wore completely out. Is this a replacable bearing or is it all one piece with the hub? I can't even press the darn thing off but maybe it's because I let it get so bad. If I need a new hub where is a good supplier? Thanks in advance for your help

yes they are replaceable part they are similar to a skate board bearing and you can get them from a local dealer...as for the hub coming off it took 11.5 tons of force to break mine loose in a press and i ended up cracking my spindle what are 250 a piece so you might just be better off getting a new hub

Do you have an online site you recommend for buying a hub? And thanks for your response.

try using heat and press. when the bears wear out they make there own heat and really sets the bearing on the spindle. heat it up and then press it off might work better. if it was me i wouldnt buy new hubs of spindles for my predator. ebay has a ton of parts at a fraction of the cost of new and most are almost new as most people that bought these quads scared the shit outta themselves the first time out and didnt ride much after that. If you are able to get your bearing off i would replace them with the tappered bearings off ebay they last longer then stockers.

I agree with joshr08 you just have to be careful with the heat because it can warp the hub from what i have been told. I also agree that ebay would be a good place to look or even a local dealer..i know the bearings are not a special order part a local hard wear shop should have them and the spindles are the same as a Honda

also another way to try it would be to heat it then put it right in the freezer then press it. just take your time i wouldnt just go buy a new one. you might as well break what you have before buying new. it might pop apart ....lol
