Wheel bearing removal

So I'm going to get the wheels off and prep them for the powder coater. I've never taken wheel bearings out before so am I right in thinking that I just need to use a drift to tap them out from the other side?

Are you supposed to heat the wheel up first to make them easier to remove?

 

I wouldn't put any heat into an alloy wheel, the bearings should come out easy enough with a drift

 

Are they going white ?

 

I still can't make my mind up, mate. I think they're going gold.........or white...........or gold

 

Mine knocked out easy with a drift bar, just place wheel on a firm surface and a firm ish tap of the bearing and out they pop! White wheels look ace!!

 

Lol. I really can't make my mind up. I've always liked the look of the HRC blades with the gold wheels and as mine's not a million miles away with the colours I thought it might look good.

 

I know it a different model but may help

 

Cheers, mate. Seeing them side by side has actually made up my mind. Gold it is.

 

I'd go gold too!

 

here ya go

 

Nearly as good as Fez's effort that, Phantom Thanks for doing it

 

lol no probs

 

Well that's the bearings out and a whole load of mess created

 

Have you a glove fetish?

 

Lol! Not exactly but I do tend to keep taking them off and grabbing a clean pair

 

Beat me too it,...lol don't come round my workshop will ya, I make a pair last all week....lol!

That is until my mates little girl comes round and insists on blowing up all my nice gloves up into balloons with the blow gun....

 

Lol!!!

 

I use about at least twenty pairs a day.....but I do work in a hospital lol

 

Actually does anyone know the best place to buy new bearings?

 

Your back wheel need 4 bearings 6 if your doing all eBay or local bike shop front wheel 2, back 4 make sure you match them up.
