How to remove the wheel bearings?
« on: October 24, 2010, 12:53:23 AM »
Picked up some tools today...FINALLY!

Got the axle nut, spacer, wheel, speedometer gear, etc. off. So how do I get the wheel bearings out??

(Please don't tell me I need ANOTHER special tool.)

Wish I could help you there...

Never took apart the front wheel yet.

Hopefully someone here has done so.

What tools did you pick up?

Can't imagine you'd need anything special to get them out, but I could be wrong...and too often am!

Shhhh!!!

The manual talks about a "Bearing Puller."

There's got to be another way...right??

It's just a basic set, oswaldters, wrenches, sockets, screwdrier bits, stuff like that. It was the 19mm wrench and the hammer that finally got that axle nut!

Wow, a new rim would be cheaper than greasing or replacing the wheel bearings, blue?

I know nothing about bearing, lol.

..lol..no, just a piece of brass...small enough that you could tap the outer race of the bearing, thru the opposite side...



..or a bearing puller, which isa tool...and a very effective one!!

Oh, another special tool.

Hope you can avoid that! 

Might be MacGyver time to figure out a way to get those out!
