How can i remove my wheel bearings with out a wheel bearing remover on my kawasaki motorcycle?

hi my kawasaki kx85 needs new bearings so.... i removed the rear tire and got to the bearings and i have pulled, pushed, hit, slammed, and so on and cant get tnem out.. any ideas??? thanks!|||Use a Rod or Punch long enough to go through the hub with a few extra inches to hit





Go the brake side,,


Stick a punch in thru the bearing,,and ***** it sideways.





Then Use that to knock the center bearing spacer tube Sideways.


That spacer will then be Off Center in the Hub a little.





It's bore and the Bearing's bore will then be misaligned.


That leaves the Inside Edge of the Brng exposed,,like a Lip or Ledge.





Now go thru OTHER side with the Long Punch,,,from Sprocket side.


Put the Punch on the Lip/ledge you just created


Hit it a Little,,,enough yo budge the bearing outward.





Now since the bearing has initially moved Away %26amp; Outward from the Hub,,


The Spacer Tube is no longer "pinched" between the bearings.


The Spacer will Flop around in the hub.





That lets You move your Punch around tp different spots on the brng.





Work your way around the bearing in a Criss-Cross Pattern as You tap the bearing Out A LITTLE at a time.





If you try to drive it out Too Far at one time,,it will ***** in the bore and get VERY tight.





You can heat the Hub with a Heat Gun,,a Big Blow Dryer,,


or even a Hi-wattage Light Bulb,,or hold it over a car exhaust.


Open Flame such as a propane torch Does Work,,,but can be dangerous and its easy to screw it up.





When you get the Brake side Out,,,then You can just use a length of Pipe to beat the Drive Side brngs Out





Theres 2 side x side on sprocket side.


That makes it TUFF,,,and it really should be Heated





To Install new bearings,,


Hit them in GRADUALLY,,and DO NOT hit the inner race.


Hit ONLY on Outer Race





Dont forget to put the spacer back into place|||Sounds like you'll need a whole new wheel assembly - hit, slammed, etc.





With an angle grinder, you can get them out, but there will not be anything salvageable left, except maybe the tire.





So Pure has given you the answer, but after what you have done so far, you may be looking at a whole new wheel.|||Once you have the wheel off, you will have the bearings out in about 15 seconds with a wheel bearing remover. One swat of the mallet for each bearing. A lot of shops would not even charge you if you brought in the wheel.





A set of wheel bearing removers to fit most common axle sizes is $42.95 at Pit Posse:

One way or the other, there is no reason not to use the correct tool.|||you need the proper tools. something that can PULL THEM. and then press them back in. They should slide in and out. sounds like they are really stuck! take them to a mechanic. he mite charge you 10 buck!|||The races need to be pressed in and out.
