Subject:rear wheel bearings
From:Gene P

I have the bearing housing on the bench, looking to disassemble to clean
and repack.  Bentley 42.4-5 says "remove outer bearing inner race and then
spacer".  Inner race slides out, but spacer does not.  I have it cleaned up
an it looks clearly like the spacer is too wide (diameter) to slide through
that outer bearing.  And of course, absolutely too wide to clear inner
bearing.  Since you can't get a drift in to knock out either bearing with
the spacer there, how does it come apart?

This seems like a dumb question but I just don't see it.  What am I missing?

Thanks for any help...
