Wheel bearings - not getting the drift
While wrestling with my spokes (see previous post) I stuck a frustrated finger in the front wheel bearings and gave them a turn - uh oh. They are very lumpy and need replacing.
I looked in my Clymer XT600 manual, which gives a diagram and sayes to move the spacer out of the way and use a sharp-looking drift to knock them out. That's fine, but the spacer (in the front wheel) only moves 1mm at best, and I can't see how the hell I'm supposed to get anything onto the bearing itself.
Please, please share your experiences/thoughts on the best way to remove front and rear bearings (as I may as well do those too, sigh)?
Also where the hell does one go to buy such a drift?! (in the UK)
Thanks
