wheel bearings (Read 56 times)

Jeff71 Senior Member Offline I'm a bike noob!!!!! Posts: 378 South of Chicago, the suburbs Gender:	wheel bearings 01/19/15 at 21:55:59 Okay, am I blind or is there no thread about changing the front and rear wheel bearings? Looking to getting my wheels back soon and changing them out will be near the top of the list. Jeff

Get yourself a bearing puller and yank 'm out and press them back in if you feel you have to. HF has 1, but won't fit without modifying it. the hooks fit into a 20mm ID, but the savage is 17mm.

Gotta be skinny enough to lean, stout enough to smack, idk ,,, I'd hafta fail the old way before I would go after that special bolt..

Yep.....that is the method that I normally use as well and most of the time it works just fine.

I took my rear wheel bearings out on Saturday. The center spacer doesn't move very much and doesn't give you much of a bite on the bearing....the punches just kept slipping off the rounded shoulder of the inner bearing race. I finally had to cut a rod on the lathe that had a nice sharp edge, and then drive a small chisel in beside it to wedge the rod against the bearing.........this anchor bolt idea would have gone much faster.

Someday I will be old......But not today!

IF a guy Had that bolt, yeah,grab it.. But,I don't have one,wouldn't know where to get one and can likely have the bearing out before finding one..
That said, I AM putting this idea in the old File Cabinet.. If I get up a tree over a bearing, I hope to remember this.

Ya know, a body work slide hammer, and some fiddling around,, I've pulled a few that way..
