Default Three grade 8 bolts

I have always been able to remove the drum bearings without much fuss by screwing three grade 8 bolts (correct size and thread) into the three cap bolt holes and then tightening them down a little at a time in rotation. Generally use the air ratchet wrench giving each bolt just a little twist at a time.

The grade 8 bolts are because once broke a grade 5 off at the end of the threads, not a problem because there was enough sticking out to grab and remove. Generally use about a 3 inch or any thing longer that has enough thread so as to not run out of thread.

If yours is being difficult, carefully measure down through the bolt holes to check to see if the bearing has gotten slightly cocked. If so I’d flip it over and drive in home with a block of wood and start again.
