Are you having trouble getting a good connection between the drift and the bearing inner? Is one bearing any easier to connect with than the other? If heating didn't help, then whatever they used is probably not loctite so may be an epoxy. If it is epoxy then the aluminium will probably melt before the epoxy burns. In the worst case you can remove bearings with grinding tools. Maybe post some photos up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherpa325 Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 There is a sleeve/spacer that is inside the hub and between the two bearings. You should be able to lever this spacer to the side with a long screwdriver, thus giving you access to the bearing from the inside, they generally require a decent hit to get them moving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley Posted December 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 I have tried easing the spacer to one side to show the bearing and hopfully drift it out with as much heat as I dare either side of the hub no joy this morning I placed an M 10 expanding rawlbolt just inside the hub/inner part of the bearing tightened it up to grip on the inner race ring and with some heat equal to the nose cone on the Space Shuttle and a few hits with my 4kg lump hammer from the othe side of hub out came a bearing EUREKA ! the other bearing was easier to remove of course, I did find heavy traces of red loctite on the hub dont quite know why as bearing recess X 2 " are in good usable order ? thank you all for your input 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
