I wish you had explained how to remove the bearing. I bought a small wheel at Harbor Freight. It comes with the bearings I need, but I can't get the old bearings out. I tried putting a steel rod in from the other side and hammering it out, but it won't budge.
I've never had one that gave me much trouble to get off. You can try putting some penetrating oil around the bearing and let it sit overnight. Another option is to heat the bearing up and then toss some water on it to rapidly cool it. do that a few times and it may break the bond. Typically I do exactly what you have described just shove a rod in from the other end and give it a few hits.
I pushed a rod from the other side through the center of the other axel and pounded the old bearings out. They were not in there very tight at all and since I didn't want those cheap bearings I really didn't care if I destroyed them. Alternatively on some I have done I have been able to take a flat head scredriver and pound up on the lip of the bearing to remove them.
If you are referring to taking out the old bearing since I didn't care about the bearings I was taking out I used the axle pushed it through one bearing and when it touched the other bearing on the edge i gave the axle a wack with the hammer and out the bearing came. Same thing for the other side just didn't need to thread it through a bearing as that bearing was already removed
I cant figure out why some of my bearings feel rough after i put them in but some dont literally 3 out of 6 feel rough the others feel perfect all are brand new
I did that a few years ago. But those spacers rubbed the bearing and destroyed them. Then the hub moved side to side, then the metal flange broke away from the hub of the wheel.

Thanks for the video, working on a mini bike, and can use the bearing replacement idea, improving some cheap utility wheels, thanks for posting.
Drat, I watched to specifically see how you got the old bearings off.

So how did you take it out? Was hoping to see how you popped it out.

U skipped the most important part, so now I have to find another video
Put a screw driver on 1 side and knock it out the other bearing.

I was just going to mention to put a washer between the spacer and bearings but I'm 2 yr's to late.
didn't show how to REMOVE the old bearing
The reason i am watching the video is to learn how to remove the bushing and that was not shown on the video
What will usually work is to take a rod from the opposite side and a hammer and pound it out
Thanks
Thanks a lot sir
You forgot to grease your new bearings. Most cheap bearing come with little to no grease.
I didn't want to break the seal to add more grease for the amount this is going to be used I don't think I'll ever see that bearing fail.
@@greasytimbers9978 They make grease needle or pull one side up to add grease.
Not it's hard to find a 3/4". Almost all replacements come with 5/8".
Waste of time
