Front wheel bearing

[Macgardens]

I have to replace the front wheel bearing in my 1984 GW 1200. I cant move spacer tube between bearing to knock them out. any suggestions or can someone email me on how to do this?

Do a search around here and the "how to" will come up. You need a blind bearing puller, a big screwdriver, and a #2 Harley tool (BFH).
The puller is made by putting a saw cut down for about 3/4" on the threaded end of a hex bolt (5/8" I think?).
Anyway the process is described around here a couple times with photos.

I hate admitting this but 3 times I've put wheel bearings in GL wheels and forgot to put that tube back in. Guess that makes a total of 6 times.

if you don't want to make the tool you can usually rent one or maybe buy one cheap at HF.

and make sure you put them noticing the directional arrows to they are running in the right direction
