rear wheel bearing blew in the 125 so i go to take it out and the moddle comes out and the outside stays wtf?? any methods on getting it out??? thanks ahead of time

 

Hammer it out using a drift from the other side of the wheel. The drift must be the same diameter as the bearing outer race. Apply some heat to make it easier. Never try to remove a bearing by putting pressure on the inner race.

I hate heating wheels.. But using a brass punch and tapping the bearing race slowly while rotating did mine. Just a small press fit is why I do not like using heat. (normally that is)

 

yup.

if you're really crafty, you can cut the outer race with a dremel or handsaw.

good luck and welcome to KF!

 

When replacing a bearing try this method:

1. put the new bearing in the freezer overnight.
2. using a propane torch, carefully heat up the hub where the bearing will fit.
3. place the now chilled bearing into the hub, it should almost drop in place.
