Hi group, from the USA have an RD250 have the wheel off but having some issues removing the bearings. Originally tried a blind bearing puller but not having success. Been beating on the wheel side but not having success can anyone offer two answers.
1. The bearings come off towards the dust seals. I'm afraid I'm trying to remove the bearings towards the incorrect side
2. Are you using a chisel and big hammer or sledge hammer to get the bearings off or are you using socket to remove.
Thank you very much in advance, Dave

Hi Dave, not done a RD250, but if they are the same as the LC the bearings pop out wards. Remove dust seal with an old screwdriver, punch outer skin and prise out. You will need a long drift or blunt screwdriver and hammer bearing out from the opposite side. Once moving then its just a job of hammering until they come out. New ones tap in with either a socket of the outer diameter of the bearing or use the old bearing outer race. Maybe worth getting a Haynes workshop manual, they are a good help as they have pictures. Hope this helps, if you can't get a manual then let me know, maybe able to pick one up and post it on to you.
Paul

Thank you, I have the clymer and the yamaha but they don't really show a pic. I had the haynes but will have to look for it. I think I need a bigger hammer what keeps throwing me off is the sprocket side had the clip and dust seal and the brake side has that spacer to contend with.
I hope I'm not breaking it will try on Tuesday

Spacer should move up, down and sideways so giving you access to the bearing with the long punch.

Hello.
Pop down to the local Hardware shop. Buy yourself a few Rawl bolts of the right diameter. Put one inside the Bearing. Tighten the expanding Rawl bolt. Then using a stout drift. From the other side. Put the drift against the back of the Rawl bolt. & bray it out with a hammer. The Rawl bolt will probably be damaged. That is why I suggest buying a few.
They are very cheap. Hope this helps. Hustler.

Hi thanks for the tips, I didn't understand that the spacer was the key, I was under the impression I was trying to get something into the hole in the spacer not the edge of the spacer, I have a blind bearing puller and it should have worked but not this time...
I'm just dumb and a newbie but now I get it... thank you for all the help...
