Motorcycle Wheel Bearing Puller
Motorcycle Wheel Bearing Removal
Use a Rod or Punch long enough to go through the hub with a few extra inches to hit Go the brake side,, Stick a punch in thru the bearing,,and ***** it sideways. Then Use that to knock the center bearing spacer tube Sideways. That spacer will then be Off Center in the Hub a little. It's bore and the Bearing's bore will then be misaligned. That leaves the Inside Edge of the Brng exposed,,like a Lip or Ledge. Now go thru OTHER side with the Long Punch,,,from Sprocket side. Put the Punch on the Lip/ledge you just created Hit it a Little,,,enough yo budge the bearing outward. Now since the bearing has initially moved Away Outward from the Hub,, The Spacer Tube is no longer pinched between the bearings. The Spacer will Flop around in the hub. That lets You move your Punch around tp different spots on the brng. Work your way around the bearing in a Criss-Cross Pattern as You tap the bearing Out A LITTLE at a time. If you try to drive it out Too Far at one time,,it will ***** in the bore and get VERY tight. You can heat the Hub with a Heat Gun,,a Big Blow Dryer,, or even a Hi-wattage Light Bulb,,or hold it over a car exhaust. Open Flame such as a propane torch Does Work,,,but can be dangerous and its easy to screw it up. When you get the Brake side Out,,,then You can just use a length of Pipe to beat the Drive Side brngs Out Theres 2 side x side on sprocket side. That makes it TUFF,,,and it really should be Heated To Install new bearings,, Hit them in GRADUALLY,,and DO NOT hit the inner race. Hit ONLY on Outer Race Dont forget to put the spacer back into place
Once okorder / One way or the other, there is no reason not to use the correct tool.
