I'm looking some advice

I have HED JET 5 express wheels and the front wheel needs new cartidge bearings. The trouble is I'm not sure how to remove these. I think they need a bearing pull (slide hammer thing) but has anyone done this and can share their expereince.

Thanks

Paul

    You never need a bearing puller. Most likely the axle needs to be tapped with a rubber mallet... that will release one of the bearings, the other can be removed by using some kind of driver ( a big screwdriver you don't care about) and the mallet.

    Fitting might be easier and safer with a home made press than by using the mallet though
