Whats the trick to getting out the wheel bearings?
There’s a couple tricks to doing this. Easiests (and most expensive!) is to invest in a puller that is designed for this task. It uses a clamshell deal that expands into the inner race and then utilizes a weight (like a dent puller) to jolt things apart. Next method is the redneck way. Uses a punch with good edges to snag the inner race of the bearing opposite you (the bearings have to come out and cannot be pushed through) and drive away, working around to keep things coming squarely. If the bearing goes cockeyed it’ll bind and oblongate the hole. On the rear wheel, notice that the hub is slightly cone shaped. You want to drive out the big end bearing first. Doing it in this order allows you more room to shove aside the spacer and get a better bite on the bearing race.
