Bearing Replacement4.
You will need: hammer, screwdriver, block of wood, replacement
bearings, gloves and eye protection.
Helpful Hints:
If the bearing drops freely into the hub prior to
hitting with a hammer, remove the bearings and
tap gently along the edge of the hub to create a
tighter t for the bearing.
Change location on the backside of the bearing
periodically for easier removal.
Step One:
Prop the tire up to allow room
for the bearings to be removed
from the hub. For example, you
may use a bucket.
Step Two:
Place the screwdriver through
the bearing hole until it hits the
backside of the bearing on the
opposite side.

Step Four:
Turn the tire over and repeat
steps 1-3 so that both bearings
are removed from the hub.
Step Three:
Hit the top of the screwdriver
with a hammer until the bearing
pops out into the bucket below
(Fig. 1).

Step Six:
Hammer directly onto the block
of wood to get the bearing in the
hub (the wood block will give
you a more even hit). This will
require a few hard pounds (Fig.
2). Repeat on the other side to
install both bearings.
Step Five:
To reinstall bearings, rest the
new bearing on the opening in
the hub and place the block of
wood on top of the bearing to
avoid hitting the bearing directly
(Fig. 2).
