    Front wheel bearing

    What is the proper way to remove the inner race of the inside front wheel ball bearing? Mine are on pretty tight. I don't want to try force if there is better way.

    Take it to a machine shop! They can press it out.

      Not the outer race in the hub, but the inner race on the spindle.

        This one?......Maybe try some heat with a propane torch? Then a few taps with a tapered cold chisel around the perimeter where it seats onto the backing plate. If I recall they are a slight press fit.

        When I did these I had everything apart so I think I just put the nut on the spindle and tapped it with a brass hammer while supporting the backing plate.
