Re: [AMC-list] Brake and Bearing questions

[tom jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

yup, what Matt sez.

I'll add only that it's really hard to see that the inner races are
removable when the inside is caked with decades of old grease!

If you scoop it all out with your fingers, you'll see that the hub is
machined for the inner bearing race to press into, and there are two
crescent-shaped clearance notches to let you get a drift in there to tap it
out.

YOu tap out the INNER race from the OUTER race end, and vice versa. Takes a
few minutes, tap one then the other. Don't get it cocked else it might nick
the hub, but it's not too critical since there's so much meat in there.
