Implementation of the procedure will require a suitable press, or the workbench equipped with a big vice. Prepare also suitable mandrels (face heads of the corresponding size will approach). Internal holders of bearings are put in a nave внатяг and sometimes are removed together with a nave. In such cases for their extraction it is necessary to use a special stripper of lezviyny type.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Remove stupichny assembly (see Removal and installation of stupichny assembly of a forward suspension bracket).
2. Strongly lay stupichny assembly on pair of wooden blocks, or clamp it in a vice with soft sponges.

If an external part of an internal holder of the bearing remains in a nave, use for its extraction a stripper (see the prevention at the beginning of the section).

3. Remove a lock ring of the bearing from an external end face of stupichny assembly.
