I picked up a rear wheel off the classifieds recently which could do with a new set of bearings - it's one of these:ย  https://www.merlincycles.com/pro-build-chosen-hub-alex-draw-19-road-cx-disc-wheel-700c-98436.html

I've had the freehub off OK, and the 2 bearings within feel fine. The 2 bearings between hub body and axle are the ones that need swapping, but I can't work out how to get the axle out... Not sure if it drifts out from the drive side or non-drive side.

I have identified the bearings as 6802 (NDS) and 6902 (DS) but need to work out how to get the axle out first!

Any suggestions...?

Check if the axle is stepped bigger than the bearing ID on one side (sometimes the drive side is instead of a spacer to locate the freehub) if so that cant pass through the bearing. Also double check the drive side bearing OD is smaller that the ratchet ring (rare but sometimes they have to be removed).

Then;

Thanks bigyan - I measured the axle last night, same od both ends, so guess it will drift out either direction. Found that stans hubs are made by chosen and found a useful video that shows this method for 3.30 hubs which look quite similar to mine...
