I say this after working on thousands of these hubs. BUT, I do fee it is a simple task. No special tools required, just some basic wrenching and bearing adjustment after wards. Bearing code is 6803. There is a tutorial PDF on www.amclassic.com help page that is very easy to follow. Just READ every step! Bearing change is pretty easy. I say this after working on thousands of these hubs.

Jeremy,

So how hard would it be to upgrade these new hubs to ceramic bearings later down the road by the consumer?

Also, in late 2006 we introduced a slotted sleeve inside the hub shell. This sleeve is used to preload the bearings from the inside, and the slots make the sleeve act like a spring. This added component increases bearing life and makes the hub easier to adjust. So, yes, we have worked out all issues with the premature wear of the cartridge bearings! Rider Dude:
