Removing brake disc while install bearing

[Tman102705]

05 400ex! I'm in the process of istalling new rear bearings. Using a video that is perfect with how to do this on UTube but there quad is nice and clean with no grim! Misleading sometimes! anywys hub off axle bolts off with the clip aswell. Now how to pound/pri this disc off can not get at all!!! NEED HELP PLeASE!!! Thought the bearings would be the problem getting offTHANKS

try not to pound it too much.. I've had to wedge a long screwdriver between the carrier and the disk hub and pried it off that way. Usually a few taps with the hammer and it slides right off though, try and pull on it while you tap with a hammer, keep rotating it as you hit it (gently)

I Just now seen another thread suggest this and just tried. No Luck... PB blaster is soaking and i am being carefull hit the bacck side bolt with hammer. Tried the screw driver broke the tip off and bending the crap out of it. Was thinking of putting heat around the axle area not on it

yah if you heat up the hub it should break loose.. make sure yo load it with grease when you put it back together.

[Tman102705]

for sure... bought it last year and learning

[Tman102705]

This is dumb! Should i take the rotor off the hub? Pain in the ***!!!!

I would spray Pblaster all over it for days and see it if helps. If not take a torch and heat up the axle/break hub then take a candle and melt the wax on the hub area. Should come right off.

Yes this is the video that im using to do it. Just like i said tho different story with stuff that wasnt taken care of.. Ive actually gotten it half way off so far by PB and Pounding

[Tman102705]

am i wrong in saying the canster inside should have came out also?

[chronicsmoke]

No that stays between the Bearings, now pound this bearings out and put your new ones in the freezer!

easier said

[chronicsmoke]

Haha yah those bearings are SHOT.. Take the carrier out of the frame by removing the snap ring off the end (right side). That braket will come off and the whole carrier will slide out the left side. Only way to do it IMO

[Tman102705]

should i b replacing this? very textured bad/not bad?
and thanks

[chronicsmoke]

No you'll be good if you just smother it with grease when you reinstall it

[Tman102705]

do i want to grease the inside of the housing before puting everything back in? im greasing axle, two axle bolts and outside of seals. jst didnt know about chain tighting dry or greased?
Thanks

Yes , put grease inside of the carrier. If you have a small sharp pick and your careful you can also pull the inner seals on the new bearings and pack more grease inside of them as well, then put the seals back into the bearings. No matter what brand bearings I have purchased they hardly have any grease in them from the factory.
