This is something that's been bothering me since I overhauled the bike a couple years ago.
I replaced a gazillion bearings and seals all over the bike but at the time couldn't get the rear wheel bearings out. And seeing as they were still good, I left them in, expecting to do it some other time.
I should have done it before leaving SA, when I still had a workshop, but I didn't and will be left to do it one day in the future, when I get my bike, my belongings and my house, all in the same place..................... :
The question is, how to remove the old ones? At the time, I gave it a quick shot, trying to knock them out, by shifting the inner spacer sideways but they wouldn't budge. It was either knock harder or come up with a better plan. I did neither coz I didn't need to.
So, how to do it, the simple way?
