Vintage Dirt Bike Q & A

how do you get bearings out of rear wheel on 1979 cr250

I can get them out, but its not an approved way of doing it. Professional mechanics would shake there heads in shame at me if i posted it on here...lol. It basically involves a hammer and a long screwdriver or a long ratchet extension.

That works fine, esp if you are replacing the bearings. Also, a hand held propane torch sometimes makes them drop out. Just a little heat, till you can't touch the metal with bare hands will do. Ambient above 60F.
