Front hub bearing romoval

[Judge1]

Anyone have any tricks to get these out? They seem like they are going to need a special tool$$$$

Using a press is the easiest way to go on those things especially if it's a older model bike.

a brass, or steel punch. the center sleeve will slide over allowing you to drive out the seals and bearing from the opposite sides.

So the sleeve wil move... Is that on the outside tapered end? Thanks for the help guys

yeah the steel sleeve on the inside will move enough to get a punch on the bearing.

I took an old upper A-arm bolt and beat them out. Its kinda tricky, but the only way to get them out it to get a punch or long bolt to catch the lip of the bearing, and then beat the crap out of it. Its a pain in the ass for sure.

I just did a set... I took a 1/2" drive extension and I slid it into the center sleeve threw the bigger bearing (the inside one) and then I used a brass hammer and I drove the front bearing and seal out. Then ya flip it over and drive the inner bearing out.
