HI all,

I don'rt know if it's possible to remove a cartridge bearing from a derailleur pulley.
Last WE I experienced a seized lower pulley on the CX bike. Even after washing, degreasing, and regreasing back together the bearing was stuck.
I just removed the pulley and put a road one I had in hand instead.
Since the Sram Type 2 original pulley is almost brand new, I wonder if I can remove the bearing cartridge and istall another in there, as I have many road pulleys available.
Anybody ever succeeded in this attempt ?
Thanks for the heads up :beerchug: !!
If not, where can I find just the lower Sram Type 2 pulley for sale ? Only finding them in kits.

Louis :)
