It would be recommended to replace the rear axle bearings and axles when they are worn/bad. If the bearings and axles are okay, just replace the seals.

How do you change the crankshaft seals on a 2000 kawasaki kx 125?

You have to split the engine cases and remove the crankshaft. Then remove the crankshaft bearings. Use a seal driver or large socket and knock out the seals. Lube new seals and drive them in. Replace all the seals in motor, new crank bearings, and mine as well throw in a new piston and rings since its all apart anyway.


How do you replace the rear wheel bearing and seal?

You will have to give more information to get a good answer. Two wheel or 4 wheel drive, front or rear, etc.,, What year is it? Front wheel bearings on the mid 90" should be easy to change. Just remove the wheel, remove the bearings and the races (will have to be pressed or knocked out of the hub) then replace the races, first, then the bearings. Put plenty of grease on them . You should replace the seals as well. On the 1999 and probably later, you will find that they have a "double set" of bearings for each wheel with only one bearing race. You will have to have the old race pressed out at a machine shop and the new one pressed in, again press the bearings and put in new seals. Will cost over $100 per wheel for the bearings and machine work in most places, plus the cost of the seals.
