yeti 575 bearing question.

[yelreppa]

Have 07 575 which by the looks of the movement in the dogbone the bearings are knackered! Can I just replace the worn bearings in that area as I need the cost to be as little as I've just serviced the forks and also the headset bearings need replacing ride a lot u see.
Can I replace the dogbone bearings without replacing the tube that they sit in?
What the life of the bearings once replaced? Always clean bike after ride.
Thanks Mark

Yes you can buy just a bearing kit.

The dogbone is reusable.

Bearing life depends where you ride, how much, when you clean it, what with, how you store it etc.

Where I ride it's possible to wear bearings out in a few months, but a good average time on a 576 is 2 years
