I do something similar to Jakobi. Additionally I use a grease gun syringe like this to inject marine grease under the seal lip to further help keep water out

I don?t have a bearing puller but I have access to a press. So I can press them out and press the new ones in? I haven?t taken it apart anymore yet but it looks like there is an inner sleeve that is separated into 3 pieces. Is this correct?

They are easy to take out. I use the rounded end of a 3/8 long extension to tap out the bearings from the opposite side of the wheel. If you run the extension on an angle you can feel the inner race edge of the opposite bearing and tap it out with a hammer. Rotate the extension around so you are pushing on the bearing as evenly as possible so it comes out of the hub straight. It helps if you warm up the hub with a heat gun or torch during removal and installation.

Do I need to grease all surfaces when installing the new bearings...the race and then the inner sleeve?

I just greased all mine at 40 hours. Most were reasonably well packed with grease from factory. I'm a fan of picking seals & greasing wheel bearings. Plus fill gap between seal & bearing face with grease to keep water/dirt out. Circlip easy to remove them just carefully pick seals & pack full of grease & work through bearing. Just my opinion.

The grease gun needles are available at most auto parts stores. Also they are sharp so try not to stab yourself :-)

Thanks for the help everyone. After getting my tools out and doing it I realize how stupid my questions were. Two more stupid questions... on the spacer there is a foam ring that is glued to it...is this just to help keep the spacer centered when removing and installing bearings?
Also I took the 2 bearings out on the sprocket side first and the spacer came out. When I flipped it over to do the rotor side I put the punch on the inside of the surface that the bearing mounts to instead of the bearing. It took a a small chip out of this surface. It is not on a surface that the bearing will touch. I do not think any parts wil touch it but I just want to make sure that nothing will be messed up. I am going to take a file and smooth it out. Before putting the new bearings in. Will it effect anything? |
