BMW rear wheel bearing help!

We have got through the tunnel in Nordcapp and the rear wheel bearing has broken.
I have a bmw gsa R1150
Do you know how i can get a new bearing sent to the very tip of Norway (Europe too) plus oil seal and maybe oil.

I could do with an online workshop manual for the rear wheel bearing if you can find a link or a pdf file.

I do not know when i can find internet again - maybe in the library in Honningsvåg

Do you think you can help?

You can also get parts from Mark Huggett BMW CLASSIC MOTORCYCLES

They post to anywhere in Europe.

In short you will most probably need the bearings and the seal.

Good luck with the repair.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
