    They are sealed bearings. You may need to remove the rear fender to get the tire out of the bike. We typically would just remove the rear bolts and tilt the fender up. Put the bolts back in and then put a rag between the fender and the bolts and rest the fender back down on the bolts.

    If you have Brembo brakes the rotor are suppose to float and will rattle slightly by design. If needed, you can contact Brembo (QTMi Ananheim, CA) to get new buttons and an outer ring for your rotors.

    Is a slide hammer the only way to get these bearings out?

    You can tap them out using a long 1/2″ drive extension from the back side thru the hub.
