Title: I'm so cheap! Wheel bearing puller !
Post by zipidachimp on 08/24/20 at 21:53:38

Scrounging around the interwebs for a way to pull the old bearings from an E-bay cast front wheel and spending less than a mechanic charged me for the rear, I found a clever website that offered 2 ways to do it: $2 solution or a $4 solution. I chose to spend $2 !!

Richer people can spend$4 !

After pulling the bearings and measuring the spacer, It's longer than the distance between the 2 bearing lands inside the hub????
One or both bearings are actually not sitting on a land !
I'm tempted to cut .060" from the spacer. Any ideas? :o

Totally cool & simple tool. Thanks

You want that spacer pinched between the inner races of the two bearings. If the spacer is shorter than the distance between the lands in the hub you will preload the ball bearings.
