Rear Wheel Bearings

Walter55 · Feb 28, 2019

Hi Can anybody tell me how to get the rear wheel bearings out of a 1974 T100 Daytona, I have
taken off the speedo drive collar and the grease cover both sides but when pressing out the bearing
from either side on my fly press they only move about a 1/8th of a inch. is there a way of getting them
out Can anybody advise

You have to use a drift and push the distance tube/spacer between them out the way and knock them out from opposite sides

DarkMan has answered your question straight away Walter55. I have done it that way all my biking life and all bikes. Just use the Drift to knock the centre distance piece to one side and then tap the bearings until they drop out. Care is needed with real knackered bearings or badly rusted ones if you use to much wellie you can knock the outer race of and leave the inner stuck and that's a different kettle of fish. If you can move the distance piece enough to get the inner and outer race together then it rocking but I doubt you can so make sure you clean it well around the bearings as to aid removal.
