wheel bearing tools

[cray]

What do you guys use to pound out the races? I used a steel punch last year and scratched up the inside of the hub pretty good. All the instructions I have seen say use a brass punch. I can't find one anywhere. Suggestions?

Northern has them

Would not worry about the dinging the races For the price, buy the races and bearings in a set. Otherwise you should not have to remove the races to change or lube the bearings>>>later the load

I actually took an old race ground the outside edge down so it would slide in the hub. Use it for putting in new races. As far as brass punch, Napa or such place may have them. Make sure you wear safety glasses as pieces of the brass can fly off.

I use a steel punch and just catch the edge of the race.

Do like Harvy says, you do not have to have a big hammer. place your punch on the inside lip of the race, hit it with a mid size hammer and work your way around the race, it will drive out eazy this way.
