outer bearing removal HO52

How do you remove the outer hub bearing once the clip inside the hub is removed?

Thanks George, so my instincts were correct. Destroy the bearing and seat in the process probably.

Re: outer bearing removal HO52

Should I use heat or take it to a machine shop and let them tackle it? What a stupid design....

Nice work! I’m sure that 60 will be a little easier to keep running, those HO’s are getting harder and harder to find parts for.

Nice work on the rear-end swap.

If you know of a Machine Shop near you?

They can turn a Step-shaft down to drive it out.

Thanks for the information. I think heat would help too. Thanks for the compliment.
