YZ250 wheel bearings

[smatta4u]

I am trying to replace the rear wheel bearings on my '02 YZ250. How do I get them out? Do I need a puller to remove both sides? There is not much room in between because of the spacer for a puller to grab the bearing. I think both bearings are up against a shoulder so I can't push thru from the opposite side. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You need to remove the brake side c-clip, then punch out that bearing from the opposite side, Then remove the sprocket side bearing by punching it out from the brake side.

The spacer does not move out of the way very far making it tough to get in there. It might be a slow process.

Success. After a couple of taps the spacer had enough room to move out of the way and the rest was easy. Thanks.
