Wheel Bearings

Post by carmanbikes »

Front wheel bearings removal, The manual says get a drift and knock them out but the tube that goes in the middle of the bearings is flush so cant get on the bearing to knock it out, Any ideas :o

Stick a screwdriver in and you should be able to pry the spacer out of line a little, enough to get a drift on the bearing. :thumbup:

Yep the spacer should have some movement in it. So push it to the side which gives you some area on the bearing to knock it out.

Try flipping the wheel over and going from the other side. IIRC it's better from one side than the other.

try using a rawl bolt that fits the hole size in the bearing
it expands on the inside which in turns gives you some thing to whack :thumbup:
told you not to but oh no you knew better
