I:Iok so i got an axle carrier that im replacing bearings on how do i take them out and put them in. i kno i can get a bearing remover but idk where and im fearing the price is steep. so can you guys show your input on how you replaced your bearings much appreciated please! I:I
 
u unbolt both wheels, take the left side hub off, take chain off, un screw the 2 giant nuts,( this could be really hard. may need a mokey wrench with a pipe) slide off the sprocket, then use a block of wood and a rubber mallet, and hit the end of axel to losen it, then slide it out, then stick a screw driver through the carrier and hook it on the opisite bearing, and give it a few wacks. just go around in a circle and they should come out.

u just got to keep wacking it. just make sure u use a soft wood and mallet. i made the mistake of using just a mallet and hammer, and bent my splines a little. but u have to wack it with one hand and use the other hand to wiggle the other side of the axel. it take a tn of time,, but it comes out edventually.
 
yea i understand. i wanna get this bike running buy the end of the month. got my cases together and now i gotta get the clutch part straight so once i have my suspension thats all the body work i really need to do! B)
