Do Bearings Need to be Pressed Out or Can a Hammer be Used to Remove Them

Question:

I would like to know if a never lube bearing needs to be pressed out or if it could be hammered out?

You should never use a hammer to drive out your bearings as that could damage the bearings and the inside of your hub. If you are going to be replacing your bearings then you don't have to be as careful with them but they should just fall out of the hub after you take it off of your spindle.

We have a wide variety of bearings, races, seals, and bearings kits that you can use for replacements. I have linked the page to this answer page for you to filter through.
