Wheel Bearing Outer Race Removal:
I have been having fun removing a set of rear wheel bearings. I have now ended up with an outer race left in the wheel, which is awkward to hammer out. What are my options to remove this?

Re: Wheel Bearing Inner Race Removal:
Get something with a flat edge that will fit through the opposite side and gentle tap it out, bit like this but imagine is the wheel bearing ...

Re: Wheel Bearing Inner Race Removal:
There is hardly anything to hammer against and it is really tight?

Yeah if you get a drift like that (piece of steel bar), and hammer the end of it to give it a "lip" it'll make it slightly easier.

Re: Wheel Bearing Inner Race Removal:
Put the inner race and balls back in, make some wooden wedges and space the balls out equally - tap bearing out as normal.

PS. That's the outer race.

Inner race is in 2 pieces! Going to get some heat onto wheel and see if it will tap out.

Re: Wheel Bearing Inner Race Removal:
Outer race is now removed Heated wheel bearing housing with a blowtorch and prised the outer race out with a tyre lever that had a curved end that just gripped a lip on the bearing. Had to keep reheating the housing and it eventually came out was very tight. It looked like somebody else in the past had had a go at trying to hammer it out! The wheel had 2 bearings on the drive side which did not help as it was well into the housing.
Where do they sell the bearing removal tools in the above post? |
