Wheel bearings

<< < (2/2)

AndyD:
Thanks
I'll have a go next day or two.
Saw special tools on eBay but at around £40 hoped there would be an alternative - I love buying tools but not 'single-use' ones that'll just sit in a drawer for years.
Interesting that workshop manuals don't mention the staking, just to simply unscrew the retainers!
Cheers,
Andy

Hi AndyD,

i've not long removed my rear wheel bearings. I made a tool of what was to hand, a flat bar and a couple of bolts. See the pictures below.

I bought new wheel bearings from RS Components.

Hope that helps.

PS. I didn't doing any staking!

AndyD:
Thanks again,
Had a look at the wheels (have a few to choose from!) and will see which bearings need replacing.
Is the staking where holes have been punched around the edge of the retainer?
If so is that just to prevent the retainer coming loose and does anything similar / alternative need doing when new bearings are fitted?
Cheers,
Andy

Bryanj:
Yes it is just to secure the retainer and should be re done
