Rear GQ wheel bearing.

Post by matsmad »

I need to change the rear left wheel bearing on my shorty GQ. Being disc brake, im able to remove all the crap off the hub. After taking off the lock nut and washer, I could not press the bearing out with up to 20 ton on the press. Any ideas?

New one should be able to be applyied with the 20t press. So just get the grinder out and grind the old bastard off.

just carefully warm the bearing up with an oxy or gas torch, this should expand the bearing slightly, try to just put heat on the bearing and not on the axle shaft, wear some welding gloves so you can pick it up while its hot and stick it back on the press, it should come off.
