Quickie axle bearing job-Never easier
Just a tip for all of you on changing your bearings. Instead of using a puller, hammer and screwdriver <-OUCH!, or pressing out try this
Place a little of break free around bearing OD
then place carrier with seals removed in oven at 250F for 10-15
minutes At the same time put new bearings in freezer in bag
remover carrier with mitt and tap lightly on solid surface(Dont bash) bearing will plop out, turn over and repaeat for other side.
Remove spacer tube
Clean carrier and spacer/grease inside and out
Place carrier back in oven for a few minutes. Take out carrier and chilled bearings. Drop in one bearing, flip and drop in spacer then other bearing. Let cool on side and check that bearings are seated against shoulder/spacer. Lightly tap with mallet and socket to verify. Easy as that, go grab a cold one and slap er back in the ex. pat yourself on back because you just saved a bunch of cash.
