Greetings All -- Got a TR3 front wheel bearing question.
I'm working on the front end of my TR3, replacing near about everything. Ordered two front wheel Timken bearings kits from TRF, and along with the bearings came some new bearing races. My question is this. Does it follow logic that a flat bladed screwdriver should be inserted the two notches behind each of the races, as installed in the hub, then tapped out with a hammer? How much force is required to tap them out, and what is the recommended way to reinstall? Do they need to be pressed in, or can they be tapped back in using the same principle? Thanks!
