Can't get The Front Wheel Bearings out

HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi fellow KZer. Believe me, this bearing remover will pay for itself with just one or two wheels.
Seriously, it is one of the best damn tool investments I've ever made.:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Yes I too bought this tool from PitPosse on a earlier recommendation of someone here - for the next time - after paying the local stealership $40 to knock out front and rear hub bearings.
And I needed it *much* sooner than i thought when I realized I forgot to but the sleeve/space in after tapping in the second rear bearing... Whoops!
This tool makes removing bearing where you have no access the the back (blind bearings), easier than tapping them down in a blind. Unreal yes but it does just that and that was without and heat!
Amazing tool, worth every cent!

So get this. I got my new bearings for the front along with my new tires. YAY! So, as I drive the new bearings into the hub, I hear them bottom out like they should on both sides, but now the inner races won't turn freely! aghhhh!
I also had this problem of mega stiff inner races when I finshed tapping the new all balls bearing kit into the rear hub. I once again used this magic little tool to bring the bearing back out a smidge to allow the inner races to spin freely.

I'm having the same issue after putting in new front bearings this afternoon. I think I seated them too deeply against the spacer. If backing them out worked for you, I'll try it after the bearing puller kit comes in, and I order another set of bearings for insurance.
