Rear wheel bearings

#1 PostAuthor: Adrian90s » Fri Jan 04, 2019 11:57 am

Trying to push out the rear wheel bearings using a press and plenty of heat...pushing from the outside in, big socket on outer race then the 20t press, moved a bit but that's it...don't want to break anything.
Opinions please.

pushing from the outside in :?:

pushing from the inside out sounds better to me :idea:

1st catastrophe of the refurb...centre hub shattered when pressing out the bearing despite loads of heat. Bollocks!!!
