SRAM XD Driver Bearing Replacment Freehub Bearings XD Freehub Service Whyte Hub

Ebay special, wheels that were said be in "good condition" end up needing some work.


Replacement of 2 sealed cartridge bearings.
6902 LLB Enduro Bearing Abec 3 - 15x28x7mm
Dimensions - I.D (inside diameter) 15mm
Dimensions - O.D (outside diameter) 28mm
Dimensions - W (width) 7mm

Bit of a long video really but hopefully covers most aspects of this kind of job. Some XD drivers might have a different design and would need to be tackled differently.
The hubs are WHYTE branded which seems to suggest they are either Novatech or Formula hubs.
