Ok Community this is starting to come together for me.
I really need help on steps 3 & 4, please explain how best to accomplish the steps.
1) I think I know how to remove the end caps from the new hub, by prying them off with a screw driver.
2) Gently tap on the end of the new axle with a rubber mallet & that will remove the axle and one bearing.
3) Use a long nail to tap out the remaining bearing, with a large enough head to cover the inner race.
Or, would a socket/extension combination be better to press out the bearing by pressing as close to the outer race as possible?
4) Do I press both bearings into the hub and then tap the axle in? Seems like this might tap one bearing out. How do I install the axle?
5) Then I tap the end caps on to the axle.
Thanks in advance,
Uni
