Replacement of front wheel bearings

Post by JWilliam »

Do any Paso owners have tips for removing the front wheel bearings? It is made difficult by the bearing spacer that covers the bearing internally and prevents use of a punch.

The easiest way to remove them is to make a stepped drift that will go through the inner bearing race and apply force on the spacer without deforming it. There are some diagrams that may be helpful here.....
