fecking wheel bearings

ok i've been hitting the buggers for over an hour now and they have moved maybe 0.5mm, there is only just enough edge to gett my drift on so I can't unlesh the full force of my hammer on it.

I've had my blow torch gentle heating the hub for 5 minutes, all it has done is make the remaining grease run out over the drive!

is there a special tool that i need?

i'll answer my own question now....

a mig welder is the special tool, couple of little blobs on the inside of the bearings. got a decent purchase, popped straight out!

Never heard of \"Brute force and ignorance M8\".Im a sort of collector of motorcycle related tools.Its my favourite by far........
I havnt had the pleasure of wheel bearings on the CRM yet,Forks seals were no hassle,so i guess it can only get worse.....

Glad your sorted 8)

brute force and igonrance wasn't working, took me a minute once i'd blobbed some weld on.

i'll do weld blobs first next time and save my self an hour...
