I recently had an occasion when i was going to remove bearing from the front wheel for replacement (Ducati) and found that the bearing spacer for the inner race was a real tight fit, and the outer race was captured within machined recesses of the hub.... I couldnt "pick" enough of either inner race from either side nor budge the spacer with various methods... So i happen to have a dynabolt that just fitted inside of inner race, tightened the crap out of it so that it had a hold of the bearing inner. Then with a 2lb-er and punch, moved it several mm's to allow the spacer to flop around allowing access for drift/punch to pop bearing, remove spacer then the other bearing.. There is probably a specific bearing puller tool out there for this job.. But hey, where is the DIY in that![ATTACH=full]59083[/ATTACH]
