I'm doing my rear wheel bearings, and I just finished reading Eric Shea's procedure on replacing them. I understand everything, except how to remove the races. Eric says that you should see a lip, but I see no lip. I'm assuming that the races press out from the rear, and come out the front of the hub, right? So how do I get a punch into ththe deep hole on the back of the control arm to get out the race? I guess a really long punch is needed? Or am I looking at this totally wrong? Help!

big socket on an extension and a 5lb bfh. I bought a one in set cheap, just to pound on...


I don't think that will work here Greg. He only has the race left. Sometimes the bearings come apart just leaving the race. If it's only the race, the entrance hole from the back is too narrow for a socket to get in there and work.
