R e a r H u b B e a r i n g R e m o v a l
Procedures are the same for rim brake and disc brake rear hubs. Disc brake hub pictured.
Insert the Park Tool AV-4 or AV-5 Axle and Spindle Vise Insert tool into
a vise. Clamp one end cap into the vise insert tool and pull up on the
wheel/hub to remove the end cap.
Repeat to remove the other end cap.
Pull the driver body from the hub by hand.
Inspect the rubber seal for damage. If the seal is damaged, replace the
driver body.
Use a plastic mallet to tap the non-drive side end of the axle to remove
the axle and bearing from the hub.
Pull the axle and drive side bearing out of the drive side of the hub.
If the drive side bearing was not removed with the axle, it must be
removed with the Bearing Puller tool as instructed in step 7.
