Figure 1 shows the axle just after removal. The sprocket and retainer ring were bother removed to slip the axle out from the Jiger body.

Figure 2 shows the fiber ring that is usually saturated with grease to seal the bearing from moisture that may be inside the bilge of the Jiger.
|
 |
Figure 4 shows the axle cleaned about 1cm past the sprocket pin holes. Use sand paper to smooth the axle surface so the bearing can be pressed off without scaring the soft metal of the axle surface. |
 |
Figure 5 shows the outer axle cover and rubber seal pushed off the brass sleeve on the axle. |

| You will need a large enough press to fit the length of the axle. This picture shows my brother Byron posing as he presses off 1 of 18 of my axle bearings from all 3 of my Jigers. We also used a little lubricant on the axle to assist the bearing slide off. |
 |
Once the bearing is pressed past the sprocket pin holes it should slide right off |
 |
The Jiger 152 started using RIV EL30 bearings and somewhere in the switch in production to the 197, the bearing was switched for the NTN 16006. They are both identical in spec's. You can also use the SKF 16006. |

Figure 8 shows the outer axle cover cleaned up and the rubber seal removed. |
