i recently just bought hub bearings for my wheel, because the inner bearing was missing when i bought the kart, unknown what happen to it. with that being said i measured the outter bearing and the measurements were ID: 5/8in OD 1-3/8in. i go to put the inner bearing in and it doesn't fit. I replaced the outter bearing for ****s and giggles because it came in a pack of 2 and it fits no problem. Are Hubs known for having different inner and outter bearing sizes? or could it be a piece of bearing from the old bearing that was never taken out; but looks fixed to the hub itself almost like it can't be removed. so can someone give me the go ahead to just use some old school technique of removing it or can someone educate me on what i should do. In the pictures, that i posted with this thread show that i tried to take this possibly old bearing out but doesn't seem to be coming out. so before i create more problems i decided to post a thread. Thank you for you time guys, hopefully i here from some of you guys asap!!! Help!!!! Thank you once again.

It looks to me like the outer race is still in the hub. Here's what I do....
I use a long, flat tip chisel and beat the old race out. In a pinch, I've used a piece of 3/4" pipe as the chisel. Either way, hit it hard!
Please update and let us know how it works out.
