    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

How do I get this bearing out?

Slide hammer bearing puller, aka "blind hole" bearing puller:

This, or something like it:

Since you likely don't want to buy a puller set and you have access to the other side, you can use an expanding concrete wedge anchor or similar in the center. Get it good and tight then tap the bearing out. Heating the part a bit will help.

I think it would be best to replace that bearing.
 
Nope, bearing is in good shape. Nice and smooth. Besides, it's all back together and back in the bike. Almost ready to fire it up.
 
If you have melted an oilseal onto one side of the bearing then you should really replace it. There must have been a reason why you had it stripped to the point of needing to remove the bearing.
 
Seriously guys, the bearing is fine. I only intended to remove the seals. Never intended to remove the bearing.
 
You might not have intended to remove the bearing but after covering it in rubber (to my mind) it's a no brainer. I have scrapped bearings if I have put them down and found they are covered in dust. The crud gets between the balls and the outer / inner race and wears them out in quick time.
