yes you can
Yes, the bearings are removeable. If you want, you can also remove the seals from the bearings, clean them, repack them with grease and re-install them. I have done this at least once every two winters and have only had to replace one of the bearings so far with a little over 7,000 miles on my sled so far.
If you have to replace them, take the worn out bearing to a local bearings/drives shop and have them cross referance it to one of their stock bearings which will be much cheaper than getting one from your Yami dealer.
If you don't have a bearing supply shop go to WWW.McMastercarr.com and search their bearing selection.

Depens - some idler wheel bearings are servicable and some are not.. if there is a c clip on the back side they are servicable (as in replaceable). I've never repacked idler wheel bearing - too much work for what they cost. All the bearings on the rear axle are a 6004 if I remember correctly and these are a standard bearing.
