get out of my page loser
Unable to remove the bearing no matter how hard i hit the darn thing with a hammer and screw driver. Rims made for a go kart and has a greese fitting. reasons for removing is that i bought it for a 3/4" spindle but its about 4 mm too big for my spindle so it tends to wobble and shake. and when i turn it shakes the whole kart. when i tighten the bolt too tight t it locks the wheels and the rim stop spinning and my steering rod bends bc my kart pushes it when I'm driving at high or low speeds. dam thing is driving me mad:2guns: i tried everything to fix and I'm kinda on a budget at the moment so i can't buy more junk trying to fix this old fart:auto:

I use a piece of steel rod that is 5/8" od; fits right in there and you can wiggle it around even with a spacer between bearings to catch the opposite bearing. Then just hold downward and sideways pressure on it and smack it with a hammer.

You could probably do it with a flat head screwdriver you aren't concerned about destroying.
