Front wheel bearings

Post by cowboi »

ok, Ive looked in the wiki and searched the board and google with no luck. i cant figure out how to get the wheel bearings out of my 96 fzr. i cant to use a bearing puller as both bearings are pressed to the spacer shaft so it wont hook on. cant drive them out with brass punch because of no lip to make contact with so now im asking for help. ....... HELP!!!!! thanks in advance , brandon

here's my experience with it, I was able to get a small lip on the edge of the bearing and knocked them out from the other side.

If you haven't taken your wheel off before you'll see the speedo drive clutch in there, you need to make sure it lines up with the speedometer piece the cable goes into or you'll bend/snap off the tabs and have no speedometer.

you can knock the bearing spacer to one side in the front, it should be a tube that stops the bearings going in too far.
give the tube between the bearings a tap with a drift and it 'should' move slightly to one side to give you something to drift the bearing out.
