    When I service the bearings I get two large deepwell impact sockets. I get two pieces of 2 by 4 about a foot long to suspend the drum off the concrete floor. With a piece of cardboard under it. Then I drop a socket that is just big enough to fit inside the hub and rest on the bearing.cage. Then a second socket stacked on that first socket that is the next size down from the one resting on the inner bearing rim. Square side up on both. Everything lined up I belt that top socket with a 32 ounce ballpein hammer.
    I hit it square and hard. The bearing and the seal are pushed out and fall onto the cardboard I’ve put down under the drum
    No grease on the floor, I’ve never bent the bearing cage and done this many times. Usually bends the seal
    Which I was gonna replace anyway. If you do destroy the bearing, you’ll just buy a new one along with the seal. And you will have not wasted any time or raised you blood pressure. I rarely change the race. With adequate grease, there’s extremely little wear on this part.
    I’d post this on the forum but someone would call me a big crude ignorant Bohemie sonofabitch and I have more garden to plant rather than look him up and slap him around.

    Good luck, let me know how this works off you try it
