Bob Zetnick Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I may be overlooking the simplest of things but how do you remove the rear wheel bearings in a '29 DA? The front wheel bearings were in the actual hub, but these rear bearings are in the axle end of the rear end and held in place by a grease seal that I don't want to destroy. Anyone know how to remove the grease seal to remove the bearings? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
