ive got new tires for my 929 and am going to powder coat my wheels, this morn i pulled the wheels and took them to the shop and had the tires removed . i stripped all the components off the wheel , removed the seals and bearings in the rear , my problem is the front wheel bearings has me stumped , there is no lip for my drift to catch on to drive outthe old bearings , before i damage the wheel , i want some advise from you guys. anybody got ideas on how to remove these bearings? thanks

 

get a sharper punch. I know it's frustrating but there is a small lip in which you need to hit.

If you are going to have the wheels powdercoated, i'd leave the bearings in place and just replace them after the powder coating.

 

The collar that is inside the wheel between the bearings can be moved to the side enough to expose the lip you're looking for. One side or the other has more movement. It will move so you can get your punch on the bearing. It's just going to take a little looking. Good luck and let us know how the wheels turn out.

 

thanks guys , ittook a solid punch on the race and the tube shifted , was able to pop em out... alls ready for powder coat...
