After reading several posts on here about a loud whirring noise when you rotate the rear wheel, I am convinced the clutch bearing has gone bad on my 2009 Buddy 125. How hard is it to replace the bearing? Does it need to be done by a Genuine Dealer or is this something that can be handled by my local motorcycle shop if I supply the parts?
I'm absolutely positive it's not the brakes rubbing.

If that's the case, it's not hard, just need a big adjustable wrench - and don't let the assembly fly apart and knock out a tooth - that spring has a lot of energy stored in it.
