Sprocket Big bearing removal??

[Sarge707]

How??? It don,t wanna go??
The Blind Hole puller I borrowed from Auto Zone did nothing.
The 2 smaller bearings popped out by hitting a 23mm (Flat Side) socket on the rear side with a hammer a few times.

Whats the best way to get the Larger Sprocket bearing out short of paying the dealer - (With my tail between my legs?):yikes:

No Harm. I brought the sprocket to My dealer and you do have to first take off the Cir Clip under the seal ( My Bad) and then the bearing will remove easier. The dealer removed the Seal, Cir Clip and bearing (Which I had hammered on) and replaced the Parts with the parts I gave him for $20 in about 15 minutes..

For people searching in the future I would recommend doing the hub and wheel (Small) bearings yourself as they are pretty easy to knock off from the rear with a 23mm socket(Flat side) and some sort of extention.
I Will in the future just take the Sprocket to the dealer and let him do that (With My Parts) and pay the few $$ so the Sprocket is perfect, BECAUSE thats the bearing the wheel turns on!!!

I will say One of the bearings or more had to be going because it was getting hard to push back in the garage and when I jacked it up there was a lot more resistance than I was used to when turning the wheel by hand.. Now its Great--LIKE NEW- a 2 year old could push it.

Moral of the Thread- Push your Spyder around now and then and occassionally Jack it up and turn the wheel to see how much resistance your getting.. I knew something felt wrong and took corrective action before riding further (Plus it rained all wek?):roflblack:
