stupid question

Hello out there. Can someone tell me how to replace the front wheel bearings on my d 180? How do you remove the bearing from the hub? I dont want to hammer on the inner race? :thumbs:

WELL you are going to have to hit on the inner race here is the easy steps that i know

1) take the rim off the spindel

2)put the rim and tire up on somthing with a hole in it so the hup will stick down in it

3)take a punch and put it in side the hub and tap all around it till the bearing comes out

4)then flip the rim and tire over and put hub in the hole and do the same with the punch

thats how to do it

Why worry about messing up the bearing if you're going to replace it?

I used a slide hammer attachment on the bearings in my 854. Once one side is out, I used a metal rod slightly smaller than the thru hole on the rim to get the other side out. :thumbs:

It's not a 2 piece bearing. There are a 2 assemblies per side.,

thanks guy's and or gal's! I was afraid I was going to have to take it to a shop & have them press them out. (Probably charge me $30. for 10 min. work. )

Thanks again I will try it!
