Sounds easy when you read the manual??

Trying to change the front hub bearings and getting nowhere fast.

I simply cannot get enough purchase on the bearing edge to knock the old bearings out. I am hoping that if I can get the first one out then the spacer can be removed and the second bearing will be dead easy

I am using a thin punch and a hammer.

What tips have you guys got please??

Make sure you push the center spacer tube to one side as much as you can so you can get to the bearing. I use an old 3/8 extension about 10 inches long to pound on the bearing. Try hitting it at different angles too.

Try warming the hub too. It will expand faster than the bearing and make it a little looser...
