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... |
