Hey guys,
Going to be doing wheel bearings on the '83 VT500 (front and back). Quick question for anyone who's done this...can you tap the old ones out with a drift or punch, or do you actually have to get a puller? I have a seal and bearing driver set sitting on the shelf gathering dust, so putting the new ones in shouldn't be a problem...just wondering how hard it is to get the old ones out...

I am about to do the same thing on a 05 sabre. From what I have read it can be punched out LITTLE by LITTLE all the way around from the opposite side OR you can find something to expand in the bearing and pull/push it out.

I am going to try an expanding anchor bolt and heating the rim and see how it comes out. Local shops want just over $100 to remove/replace the bearing.. Said could be MORE if the bearing is hard to get out. (that is with ME supplying replacement).
