I've got wheel bearings for my RZR, how do you press the old ones out?

I had to use a press Wink

i use a large punch. catch it on the inside lip where the bearings meet and tap them out. i never done it on the rzr but the ones in the rhino have to go out the same way they go in.

The Manual says to use a drift punch and tap out evenly. I just dropped mine off at the dealer to get done under the extended warranty.

Large punch , remove large snap ring beat it out from other side. For best results soak with light oil . But you must press back in . I put my bearings in the freezer and the bearing carrier in the oven about 200 deg , they will just about fall in that way.

Thanks for the info! So there's no way to get them out without taking the knuckle out?

Guest

it will be much easier to take the knuckle out. if its the front i think its easier to remove the a-arms from the frame, at least on the rhino it is. i have not done it on the rzr yet but if the ball joints are easy to remove from the knuckle that will be the best way.
