Yeah, I should have mentioned that they are the JP hobby retracts. I assumed that was on all the Jokers since the retracts come with the kit and are already installed. I took a moment this morning and took one of the main wheels off and sure enough the front bearing came off with the axle. For future reference the bearing size is 5mmX8mmX2.5mm. Should I look at just replacing with the same old bearing or is there a certain type I should upgrade to? I also would like to add a tool to my tool box. It is called a inner bearing puller. There are many out there for auto work but does anyone know of one that would pull small bearings such as this one and other small bearings we come across in our hobby endeavors?
