Hey guys,

I'm trying to get the bearing race out of the front hubs and was wondering how you guys do it since there isn't much a lip to take them out. Thats on the 5 bolt hubs. Took them in to a machine shop and they said they'd probably cut a couple of slots out and to get a punch behind them. I'd rather not do that and mess up the balance of them. I was thinking it comes down to cutting a slot I can just toss them on the lathe and cut a circular grove all around to atleast maintain balance.

Let me know what you guys do though.

Thanks in advance

Sam

 

The part you cut doesn't spin. Mazdatrix.com has a write up.
