toetoe Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 i took my rear wheel off today to have a look at the bearings but to get at them there is a bush in front of them, how do i get the bush off, i haven't tried anything yet because i don't want to force anything.

lestergg2005 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hi there, the bush / spacer should pull out but normally a couple of flat blade screwdrivers to either side and it should lever out ! Done thus many times and once out make sure you clean them and apply a little grease before refitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mokwepa Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Or use a drift/long rod and drift them out from the opposite side (put rod through centre of hub, catch lip of top hat spacer and drift out). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ar22 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 big vice grips end on gently wiggle it out or put a shaft through from other side and tap against vice grips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
