rear axel spacer greif
Permalink  
 

I had read that some people had difficulty removing the rear axle and that removing the rear axle spacers could be hard, but F@king hell!
My axel came out easy enough but all the spacers in my rear wheel are bound together so that if I turn the spacer on one side the spacer on the other side will turn.  I effectively have a hollow axle through which the proper axel slides. Any advice on how to get them out?
I'm pretty sure it will be at the expense of my wheel bearings.

wheel bearing.jpgI use a Dyna bolt (used for fixing stuff onto concrete ) stick it in tighten it up and use a long punch or similar from the other side to knock it out .

a bit of heat helps and when putting the bearings back in cool them in the fridge and heat the hub up a bit makes life much easier .

I think Brian uses a proper bearing remover kit he found on Ebay

That's a big dyna bolt. Excellent idea boof!. I had almost got there - thinking about barkbuster handlebar inserts. But that is just what I need. Does your photo show a dyna bolt inside a wheel bearing? That's a big dyna bolt . I have never been up that end of the dyna bolt shelf in Bunnings. I will explore tonight. Thanks

I think its around 19 mm from memory and their cheap as , one of the best time savers I've come across when it comes to removing wheel bearings

first step towards the big boys end of Bunnings is buying a TTR LOL (they also have really cheap Gas torches as well in the tool section to apply the heat )
