How the heck do you remove the seals and bearings from inside the rear hub? TIA

Whenever I replaced mine(twice already) I used a screwdriver and popped out the seals. I then used the screwdriver and tapped out the bearings. Not a good idea if your bearings and seals aren't being replaced.

They'll be replaced if I do it like that. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]. I m replacing them, my berings are binding some so i've got it all apart and don't want to screw up the hub nd the spacer inside. Ive tried the scredriver to pop out the seals, had no luck. Don't want to ruin them if possible at the moment. How do you get between the bearing and spacer to tap the bearings out?

I pressed mine in and out...if you can put them in with a screwdriver your housing is probably bad

I just did mine and the way I did it was put a piece of pipe in from the opposite side and tapping (banging) it with a hammer working it all around. You can just catch a lip of the bearing, I kept banging from all angles and it worked it's way out. I had the carrier in a vise while doing this. Nothing was damaged. By the way when installing the new bearings, put them in the freezer overnight and they will go in much easier.
