I have a 400 EX and I need to replace the rear bearings but they are not coming out very easily. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get them out?

 

What isnt coming out ?
axel , or bearings from carrier ,how far have you got ??

Check out riva parts finder for drawings that should help.

 

The rear bearings inside of the axel carrier won't come out. I have the repair manual for the 400 EX. How would you pull them out if they are stuck?

 

I just did mine, they are a pain. I welded a piece of steel to the smaller race of one bearing. You can then knock it out, squarely. When the first one is out, remove the inner pipe/spacer. That will expose the other bearing to knock it out.

 

Thanks guys I got it ... it just needed to be pryed a little more.

 

here is a tip:

place the whole carrier in an oven at 200-225 degrees. remove teh carrier and the bearings may just fall right out. if not, they shoudl come out after tapping on it with a piece of wood or something. if that still doesn't work, place them back in the oven for longer.
