sherco tom Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 hello! Need some advice on how to remove wheel bearings. The ones in the back wheel seem to be very stuborn and won't come out. Is there a certain method anyone uses to get them out? Any help suggestions would be mega appreciated. Cheers!

penno350 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Tom are you heating the hub? I normally find that a good dousing with boiling water is enough and then drift the bearing out from the opposite side. If you cant get any purchase on the inside face of the bearing another option is tighten a construction type expansion bolt into the centre of the bearing where the spindle normally sits and drift against that. Most extreme option is catch a bolt or piece of bar with a blob of weld in the centre of the bearing and knock it out against that. Hope this helps.

My preferred method, but I'm fortunate to have a welder in the garage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
