Is it possible to preserve the front bearing when doing a hub replacement? My front bearing was recently replaced and now I need to install the new hubs for my DSS axles- is there any way I can get around having to buy a new set of wheel bearings?

Thanks

I think you can get a new wheel bearing for roughly 50-70 bucks. From what i've been told, you could re-use it, but it's a better idea to replace. the bearing loses it's integrity once it's been pressed out wih the hub.

 

Bringing this back from the dead.

Can you remove the hub out of the bearing without pressing the bearing out?

I'm in a similar situation. I have just replaced the bearings but didn't replace the hubs at the same time... Now I want to replace the hub.

How do I get the hub out of the bearing with the inner race coming with it?

 

when you press out the hub, the outer race will stay on the hub, pull it off and press it back into the bearing.

No other way.
