Hi, has anyone got any wisdom on how to remove a bearing out of a old hope hub, from what I can see it needs a blind bearing removal tool, I tried to push it out but there,s two bearings with a spacer inbetween.

You'll need to say exactly which hub mate! If it's an XC it's pretty easy, otherwise....?

Easy - knock the spacer to one side and then you can knock the bearing out - use a long drift to do so right thru the hub

Heating the hub in hot water helps get the bearings out easily

I think its an original bulb hub on a Whyte 46.
