Rear Hub Bearing Removal
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.
Use a soft face 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.
The wave spring installed on the non-drive side of the axle will slide off
when the axle is removed. Set the wave spring aside.
