HELP: Front wheel bearing removal?
Hi...The front wheel bearings (XT660Z 2008) seem to be flush with the metal-tube that rests between them. So, just how, exactly, do you knock/tap out the bearings with a flat-headed screwdriver, for example, when there appears to be no lip/ridge? Is a special tool needed, if so, what would it be and where could I get it?
Thanks...your's...stuck half-way between a job

The metal tube can be moved out of the way just enough to see the lip of the bearing - it is probably just a bit stuck in there at the moment.
When I did mine I used some 10mm diameter steel bar (a big screwdriver or something would do the same job) I had lying about to kind of lever the bottom of the tube to one side to reveal the edge of the bearing. It took a little bit of pressure to 'force' the tube to one side.

Aliwakeskate gave you the answer....
Put a long punch in pull it sideways the inner spacer will move sideways enough to get a punch on the inner race of the bearing... you do seem to be strugging with it maybe you should take it to a shop have them do it... .

If it's any help, I watched a well reputed Bike mechanic change a wheel bearing on my old DR600 once.
He heated up the hub carefully with a blow torch wearing thick glove's, turned the wheel over then the bearing just fell out. He then quickly turned the wheel back over then dropped the new bearing in place before the hub cooled. Job done in minute's, no damage to the hub or wheel & everything all worked fine with no problem's. |
