I am looking at putting some dura blue graph lite wheel spacers on the raptor, What is the best way to remove them?? Can i press them out with a C clamp or what?????

01 Raptor

 

A shop press is best but ya can put a socket under the flat side (giving it somewhere to go while supporting the hub) and hit it with a hammer. They are just pressed in originally.

If you haven't bought the spacers yet, use Durablues EZ-fit spacers. They come with special studs that screw onto yours so they are easy to put on and take off. I know they are more expensive, but it is worth it.

If you are going to drive your studs out, don't forget to put the nut back on the stud. This will give you a larger area to hit and keep you from messing up the threads.

 

I thought the easy studs were more for a utility type, can they handle raptor type riding??
How much are they and where??
How about the spacers on ebay??

 

I used these spacers from High Lifter I got them for $75 from my dealer (I get a 25% discount from them)
They don't need the stock studs removed.

If you do drive out the stock studs, remove the hub from the quad & support it real good before you start hammering or pressing the studs out!!!
If you don't your next post may be who has Raptor hubs!!!!!!

 

I have the EZ-fits on my 250x. It has been flat track raced, dragged, and been through countless hours of general riding. They have been on there for 3 years, about the time they were first released. They work great. $75 for the highlifter is a lot cheaper than the ones I have.
