| Post subject: | Swival Hub and Drive Flange |
G'Day all, I am just replacing my front bearings and I am having a bugger of a time separating the drive flange from hub. I was curious if anyone has any tricks that can suggest as I don't have the BMC bearing removal tool. 
Thanks in advance for help with this guys and gals |

Assuming it's a drum brake setup- If it won't come out of hub use a slide hammer onto one of the studs. If the inner ring of the bearing jams on and you can't pull it, there are a couple of options: Method 1. carefully use an angle grinder to thin the ring down within 1 mm of the shaft, then hit the ring with a hammer & chisel- it will stretch or split. Method 2. Run a bead of weld around the bearing inner ring, this will heat it heaps and it will fall off if you help it.

cheers mate - since I don't actually have a slide hammer that really didn't occur to me. Time to pick one up I think... thanks again.... |

I made a BMC one- a length of threaded rod, a bit of thick plate, and a dead Morris 1100 harmonic balancer to supply the kinetic energy.
