Wheels & Tires / Backward bearing race - arg!
« on: February 10, 2022, 06:02:19 PM »
Hi all,
I recently picked up a Simplex frame, wheels, seat and a few other items.
One problem is that some previous owner installed a bearing race in the front wheel backwards and then installed the dust cover. ;-( See the pics of the good bearing race and the backward race.
How do I get the errant dust cover and backward race out of the hub? Just pry up the dust cover and then pound out the race from the back with a brass rod?
I'm looking for advice and comments. Thanks! Dean
