Today, we will show you how to replace the bearings on your NEO Series trainer
To do this, you will need a Tacx® NEO 2T Disc Extractor, a Tacx® NEO Servicing Bearing Kit,
4mm and 5mm Allen keys, a 24mm wrench or socket, a hammer and a piece of cardboard
First, use the 5mm Allen key to remove the nut that secures the cassette body
Once the nut is removed, slide the cassette body off the axle
Then, remove the black ring on the axle
Use the 4mm Allen key to remove every other disc bolt, leaving 3 disc bolts in place
Now, it is time to install the NEO extractor tool
Position the extractor tool so that the holes line up with where the disc bolts were removed
Then, insert and tighten the disc bolts
You will now need to extract the disc
Use the wrench and tighten the bolt
Tighten the bolt until you are able to slide it off the NEO Trainer
Then, remove the disc bolts from the extractor tool with the 4mm Allen key
and then remove the extractor tool
Once removed, place the extractor tool on a
solid surface and back out the bolt from the extractor tool
Do not fully remove the bolt
Ensure that it does not make contact with the solid surface
Next, using the 4mm Allen key remove the remaining three disc bolts from the disc
Now, it is time to remove the bearing block from your disc
Place the disc on the disc extractor tool
To prepare, slide a small piece of cardboard or
wood beneath where you are going to tap the disk with your hammer
Also, place a blanket or piece of cardboard underneath the disc as it
is heavy and will fall with force when it breaks free from the bearing block
Next, using the hammer, gently tap the disc at 9 o’clock, 12 o’clock,
3 o’clock, and 6 o’clock positions
It is important that you do not hit the disc with much force
Eventually, the bearing assembly will break free
Place the bearing assembly onto a solid surface and then place the NEO disc
on top of the bearing assembly while carefully aligning the holes
Then, reinstall a disc bolt in every other hole
Tighten each disc bolt using a 4mm Allen key until it is snug
Once all disc bolts have been tightened,
you should see the lip of the bearing block stick up just past the NEO Disc
Now, reinstall the disc extractor tool back onto the disc
It is now time to reinstall the disc back onto the NEO Trainer
Hold the bolt and rotate the disc until they are aligned
Remove the extractor tool from the disc
Then, reinstall the remaining disc bolts
Reinstall the black ring onto the axel
Finally, reinstall the cassette body and tighten the nut to secure it
And that’s it!
Thanks for watching!
