Caution! Do not allow the wheel to rest on the brake disc, as this may damage the disc. Support the wheel on wooden blocks, equally spaced around the rim, such that the brake disc is raised above the ground.
2. Place the wheel on wooden blocks to prevent damage to the brake disc.
3. Remove and discard the seals and the bearing circlip.
Warning! 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.
Caution! 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.
