2019 Levo Comp. 1 hour job to change front wheel bearings. I used 6902-2RS LLB Enduro bearings.
Tools required are hammer, nail punch, press drifts or suitable sized socket, bearing grease, soft faced lever (e.g. small pliers), soft faced lever 13/14 mm diameter.
Remove wheel from bike. Pull off torque caps...no tool needed. Lever off hub end caps ( see pic). Any tool with a soft face shaft with 13 or 14 mm diameter will do. Just insert and lever out. Next use something like the curved and soft grip covered handle of small pliers to lever the hub spacer that sits between the bearings, to one side. This will expose an edge of the bearing when viewed through the hub. Place the wheel on a block of wood and on a hard surface. Working on the non disc side bearing first, use a nail punch to start drifting the bearing out. Keep moving the spacer to expose opposite edges of the bearing so you drift it out evenly side to side. Once out the spacer will also come out. Now drift out evenly the disc side bearing. If you left the disc on you will need an additional support under the hub like some plastic tube or a socket covered in cloth.....same size as hub diameter.
The new bearings can be greased up and either pressed in or tapped in using a suitable sized socket. Don't forget to insert the spacer after pressing or tapping in the first bearing. If you do not use a press with suitable pieces to keep the spacer central you can use the Maxle to align it before tapping the second bearing fully home.
Now replace the end caps....tap back in with a socket of suitable size. Finally replace the torque caps.
