Wheel bearing rings front and rear the same?

[peteracs]

Hi All

I have not taken the rear suspension off (yet..) but just wondered if the rear bearing retaining ring was the same as the front one, i.e. the tool and the ring are the same. Reason for the confusion is that I have seen some folk offering rings which they specifically state either front or rear against it.

They are different sizes

Hi Stuart

Thanks, but is the tool the same for both?

The same, at least mine that I made myself

Yes - the same tool fits both size rings. They differ by a few mm only.
