What is the best and easiest way to knockout and replace front wheel bearings on recon 250?

 

Never done one but have seen some sort of cheap puller that will reach in and grab the races and pull them out. Or you may be able to knock them out from the inside with a drift and hammer. If real bad, some people weld nuts to the races and use a slide hammer or races can be cut and removed that way. There's also a chance that the races are ok so a quick bearing swap may suffice. Bearing usually have a cotterpin nut, big washer and then the bearing that should almost fall out when you wiggle the hub. The races are another story. They're like pressed in and like to come out perfectly parallel. I've stuffed a piece of dry ice on them to shrink them a little but I get my free advice from some sketchy sources. Come to think of it, your bearings may be a simple one piece unit. I should read the manual before attempting advice but since no one responded, I figure I'd at least throw some bearing theory your way.
