I "drifted" mine out from the other side with an old length of pipe and a bloody great hammer  :o

Im adept with a mallet! - but it cant knock in what is already in- I cant get on the back side of the bearings? the spacer is making it an almost smooth axel-way- that I cant get purchase on anything to whack 'em out. Ive never had a 400 hub apart- in fact this isnt mine, its my Bros- he brought the wheels from someone up 't North who siad they were rebuilt, new rims, stainless spokes etc- but theres no spacer fitted! So we decided to take his old wheel apart- got the retainer out, then where faced with two closed doors, so to speak. Im sure you dont have to muller one of the bearings, to get at the spacer and the back of the other?

The spacer is held central by three "Tabs," put a bar in and lever it sideways so you can get a drift onto the bearing inner race then beat it out, remove spacer and straighten tabs then beat the other bearing out.

NOTE:- Because you are beating them out by hitting the inner race they MUST be replaced with new and not re-greased as you will have impact damaged the races
