Holding a 2011-13 rear wheel bearing to measure and compare to the later model part to see what if any changes where made for LED 2015 PCX. Separate part numbers as of 2015 so maybe modifications where made, we shall see. After I have this information I will have no need for this one.

I do not believe my bearings are failing at this time but due to availability and back order of these I'm having one on hand just in case.

I was thinking about changing the bearings myself, but for roughly 30 USD it'd be cracy to even think about it. The 39mm nut holding the torque spring and driven pulley together was a bi@tch to take off, but otherwise it was a straightforward task.
Regular cleaning and regreasing will now be on my agenda for every oil change to avoid the bearings go prematurely.

Looks like you need an extra set of hands to reassemble, if you don't have a special tool.

As they say your feet are allways at hand. ;-)
The Thai special tool to use is to sit on a chair, put some cartboard on the floor to protect the parts, rewssemble everything and put even pressure on the parts with the feet to be eble to torque down.
Flip-flops are optional work safety items ;-)
