Jordk Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Im in the process of changing my wheel bearings on my project Glanza. Run into a bit of an issue the ball cages and inner race has dropped out leaving the outer race stuck. Should I just try and press it out with a really wide metal dolly or is there an easier way? I wouldve thought it would come out in one piece. Also I take it that it'll only press out one way (the wheel side of the hub)Any help appreciated! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dobbs Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Easiest way is to run a bead of weld round the inside of it, when it cools it contracts and pulls the race and its easier to get out. Just hit the bead with a punch and hammer and it should just drop out ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jordk Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Finally got it a mate luckily had a set of metal plates for pressing bearings. Lined one up the same size and bang out it pops. Welding would've been the next choice as that's what I do at work with bigger stuck bearings. Cheers for the replies! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
