Help needed

[nast70]

I'm changing the front bearings on my TRV. First one went like cake. The send one basically disintegrated while knocking it out. Now I'm stuck with the inner race inside the hub and nothing to grab for a puller or to hit with a hammer.
Any thoughts?

Heat up the knuckle it will make it come out a lot easier. Just use a small chisel.

If you got a welder put a few welds in the inside of the race, it’ll shrink the race and fall out.

A press is a must, each time you scar the hub it will be that much harder the next time...If your close 130ave and 126 st bring it by I have a press,,,(pretty much a necessity when you own a Rzr...)
Also wouldn't hurt if you put it in the freezer for a bit then while pressing one could heat the hub to get it to expand a bit...

done many jobs like what neilsledder said, i usually put 3 short weld,once it cools down will fall right out

Pretty sure he is working on an arctic cat trv

You only pound out races on all the hubs of a super b once without learning a trick or two loo

I've seen a slide hammer on eBay or something for this,you could also use a dremel to cut it.

A press would be the best but heat and a slide hammer could work you would have to move it around once it starts To move little bit at a time on each side

Thanks for all the advise guys. I took the old bering from the first wheel, took it apart and using the inner race and berrings, sliped that into position so there was something to tap. Let it soak with penetrating oil all night and it popped out with one tap of the hammer.
As much as I love this machine, every wheel fought me and had an issue.
That one I asked about was a front wheel. The other front wheel pulled the axel out of the CV boot when I pulled it off the axle. Both back wheels left the inner bearing race on the axle when I pulled off the hub. And in my frustration, I cross threaded a wheel stud putting the tires back on.
Once the stud and wheel nut are replaced, she's perfect again!
BTW, the old bearings were All Balls. The ones in now are AC OEM.

grease the chit out of them, do yourself a favor and buy one of the bearing greasers that fit inside the bearing and fill them buggers right up.

A-arm and knuckle bushings next?

How did you know LOL!
The tie rod ball joints will be done too. My wife is hard on this machine!
Gotta pay to play I guess.

Get after market bushings from DK off-road in Edmonton or RTR fabrication out of the states. They will last a lot longer than OEM.
