its pretty easy. if it's anything like my R6, theres just the bearings and bearing races. clean both completely so they're free of grease, get some high pressure grease and work it into the bearings by putting some on your hand and rolling the bearing back and forth until its well packed. put some in the bearing race as well but you don't want to have too much in there either.

its not that difficult
