Anybody have any tips on removing the bearing from the rear wheel. I have not tried the front yet. I can't get the punch on it to drive it out. wheel off a '75
Thanks
Georelle

The sprocket side bearing has a 25mm I.D. and is fitted with a spacer to sleeve it down to 20mm so it fits on the axle. Find a socket that fits that inner spacer and just tap it down and out. It will drive the center tube spacer, opposite side bearing, and grease seal out. Then it's no problem to use a long punch and get the sprocket side bearing out. Early center spacers (possibly yours) had a small hole drilled through the side. If present, you can use a rod bent at 90' on the end to hook into that hole and tap on the center spacer, driving either bearing and seal out.

Thanks for the help. I was wondering about that spacer inside the sprocket side bearing. Mine does have the hole in the center spacer but I think I will try your socket suggestion first.
Thanks again
