Bearings in front hubs

[Ex_Rider43]

yesterday I snapped my front bearing (left side) during a supermoto race.. today I disassembled it and everything is messed up and I want to know if there is only 2 bearings in there and the best way to get the rest of them out of the hub because I cant get them off.

if you dont have a press, use a socket that fits the outer edge of the bearing and drive it out.

If its just the sleeve left in the casing you can weld a tack on the old bearing casing big enough to hit it out with a punch of some sort, I did this with my axle bearings a few years ago.

I second that ^

they were snapped all the way inside the housing so a socket wont work but Im gonna weld something and beat on it until it comme off I think.

That will only work if the bearing is in one piece or on the pivot/linkage bearings , the taper in the housing gets in the way.

take an extension and turn it around. use the tapered spacer to drive out the bearing or whats left if possible. a press really should be used but since his is all jacked up he cant do much more damage as long as he stays off the bearing surface and doesnt booger up the tapered spacer too bad.

I think im going to cut it carefully with the grinder.
