Rear Bearing removal help! was created by munkybrain2010
So I went to get my tire changed for the season only to find out that my axle was siezed and one of my bearings was torn to shreds. Better to find out late than never i guess. Anyways I had to pound the axle out and I removed 2 out of 3 bearings.
The right side bearing for my disc brake 79 kz650 was the demolished one however and only the inside part and bearings came out leaving the outside ring stuck in my wheel. :S
I tried to get it out using the claw of a small hammer....but I broke the hammer. Theres no way to pound it out from the other side using a brace or anything either.
Any one have any experience/ advice theyd be willing to share??
This bike is one horror story/ money pile after the next and its really frustrating...but for some reason I cant stop haha :pinch:
thanks

If you indeed can't get it from the other side have someone weld some stringers, short beads, on the inside of the race. Most of the time that works and a lot of times they will just fall out after that.

You can also very carefully cut it in half with a dremel or die grinder. I have used a die grinder with a tapered burr bit with success.

Nice! thanks! I think Ill try heating it up first then if that doesnt work I might try the welding trick, maybe weld something to it and pull it out? I want to test out my lil welder anyways :evil:

Three no BS ways of outer bearing race removal. Good advice guys.
Find a way to buy, beg or borrow a Dremel tool. Then buy some carbide cutters for it. You will wonder how you managed without it all these years.
I use a 1/4" die grinder with a carbide cutter to cut them through. They fall right out.
Remember when you go back in with the new one to put it in the freezer for a while before you put it in the hub. Heat the hub a bit and it falls right in.

Alright got it out! survived without the dremel using a 5 dremel cutoff wheels and a collar. :lol: I tried heating and welding it to no avail. cut it up some and ran out of discs haha. But the cuts I made allowed me to get a junk axle in there and pound it out so happy.
Now I have a brand new set coming from Allballsracing.com Ill definately try the freezer trick thanks guys!
