rear wheel bearing
 
My question is, are there any good tips to get the outter bearing race out of the hub? I got that big C clip out. I wouild normall punch it out from behind, but there isnt enough space to push the outter race. How am I going to pull the rest of the bearing out. There didnt look like much space to pull the rest of the bearing out

So I took off my rear hubs. I got the 5 lug shaft off the main bearing. Im going to I already got the splined shaft out, that part is no problem.

i did mine on a hydraulic press, or you can take it to a shop to do it. shouldnt cost that much.

I welded tabs on to the sides, then ground them flat on the bottom so I could use a puller.

If you have a welder, run a bead along the inside of the race. When it cools the race will shrink and fall out.

Or, grind a little bit into the aluminum of the hub so you can fit a punch between it and the race.

How were you able to get it out with a hydraulic press? I cant even see the outter race from the back

I might try Aaron's method, and yani's if it doesnt come out.

I saw a real good writeup on the rear wheel bearing, but htey failed to show how they got the rear outter race out

This is just an update. The outter bearing race came out when I pressed the rest of the bearing out. I thought it might get stuck, but it didnt. THanks guys
