Does anyone have a trick to remove the bearing from the trailing arm without ruining it?
I ran into a problem while doing my 5 lug conversion. |

one of the bearings dropped right into the trailing arm with very little to get it to seat completely. bearing was cold, training arm hot.
I thought if I could make a part that would span to the outside of the bearing where it contacts the trailing arm I might be able to tap it out. getting the gap to insert the tool would be the hard part. I would not have to press out the hub flange as that would go into the freezer with the bearing and the whole assembly back into a different trailing arm. More than likely a new bearing is in order. |
