3. Remove and discard the bearing circlip on the left hand side of the wheel.
Always wear eye, hand and face protection when using a hammer and drift. Use of a
hammer and drift can cause bearings to fragment. Pieces of fragmented bearing could
cause eye and soft tissue injuries if suitable protective apparel is not worn.
To prevent wheel damage and to aid bearing removal, always apply force evenly on
both sides of the bearing to prevent it from 'tipping' and becoming stuck. Application
of uneven force will lead to difficulty in removing the bearing and to a damaged
wheel.
4. Using a suitable pin punch, through the centre of the wheel, drift out the wheel
bearings. Collect the centre sleeve.
