3.
Remove and discard the seals and the bearing circlip.
Always wear eye, hand and face protection when using
a drift as use of a hammer and drift can cause bearings
to fragment. Pieces of fragmented bearing could cause
eye and hand injuries if suitable protective apparel is not
worn.
To prevent wheel damage and to aid bearing removal,
always apply force evenly on both sides of the bearing
to prevent it from 'tipping' and becoming stuck.
Application of uneven force will lead to difficulty in
removing the bearing and to a damaged wheel.
