I just had the same problem, i used a bolt like yours but put the wide head of it inside the little bearing ridge, held it in place and tapped it from the other side. A bit of persuasion later and it pushed the bearing race out. But your method was definitely next to try!
Thank you for posting this video. I ran into the same issue. Unfortunately I was not able to find a carriage bolt. Instead I used a threaded rod and a few nuts and washers. Luckily the washers were close to the size of the bearing race. I just had to file a little bit. It fit like a glove after the filing. After applying the steel weld I was able to get the race out. Put the new one in with no issues. Thanks again.
I had this very problem today with my Hope Pro Evo 2 rear hub. Your solution here is way more elegant and risk free than mine, which was to carefully hit the concave recess where the balls go with a sharp screw driver until it split. I got away with it, more luck than skill.
Nice video... On our coaster brake bike the hub is locked up. With the rim off the bike, If you turn the sprocket (in the correct direction) the brake spins around also. They seemed to be locked together. Not sure how I can get this apart (tried for a while and I cannot get the cone nut loose) as they are locked together really tightly. Any advice welcome how to get the hub apart. Thanks.
could you use a blind bearing puller that matched the diameter of the outer race? great tip though never heard of anyone using epoxy to fix this problem
Don’t have this issue, but needed to see the whole vid. Nice solution, good video!
Thanks for the thumbs up Tony :)

thanks for the positive comment buddy! Perhaps you might try it next time :)
@@wildrandez1 Definitely - I was very lucky not to have damaged the hub body. Thanks for sharing your ingenious methods with us lesser mortals!
I have the same problem, off to get some epoxy in the AM. Thank you for the idea!
My pleasure!
You man are a genius!
glad it helped! :)
Thats very clever! I have the same problem except my bearing is a small one found inside the brushless motor of a RC car
Cool! Glad it helped :)
Genius idea thanks its saved my expensive carbon wheel hub
Glad to hear it helped! :)
Ditto! I saved a couple wheels myself as well :)
Nice video...
