An old trick from my aircraft maintenance days in the USAF, if you have the time, put the races in the freezer for several hours. This causes the metal to contract and the race almost falls into place.
DO NOT , DO NOT , hit the cups against other cups . The surfaces are very hard and will Chip and Splinter . ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES ! Also a hammer should not be used to directly strike a cup . Punches are of a softer steel composition .
Hi: Before you tap in the race, do you put grease on the hub? so there would be grease as well between the race and hub.. Does it matter if you kink the hub a bit when removing the race?
The race is a tight fit to the hub so grease is not needed. If you accidentally nicked the hub while removing the old race, inspect and see if it’s sticking out a lot or not. You can file down a little and go ahead and install the new race.
THANK YOU FOR A VERRRY GOOD & INFORMATIVE video!!! I had no idea how to proceed. My Dad's boat trailer sat unused for over 10 years and the races were SHOT !!! I cleaned them up but didn't know how to proceed further. Now, thanks to your expert teaching; I will either purchase or turn a bearing race installer and proceed with knowledge! THANKS AGAIN !!!

Someone lost the handle to the bearing race installation kit wtf, thats why i DO NOT LOAN my tools to anyone not even to the ILL BRING IT RIGHT BACK GUYS ! lol
Thank you for this turtorial. Very detailed and helpful. I have been struggling with finding the correct bearings to fit my spindles and also work with a new rotor/hub. I am gonna grab the bearings that fit my spindle and a new rotor, punch out that race that is included with the rotor and place the one that fits the bearing into the new rotor. Once again excellent job. 😎🤘

Rick, great tip. I use that trick on flywheel ring gear installations.
Is there no problem with the frozen races because of humidity when the start thawing after they had been installed?

You should be able to wipe the race down to remove the moisture.
Or, take a few sweeps with a blowtorch
I used to give a/c mechanics liquid nitrogen for them.

Thanks. My races are beat to shit. You gave me confidence to do the job myself
Um where is the removal?
The removal was at the very end, at the 6:11 mark.
Good job with the video and techniques!
Thank you for your kind words
Brilliant! Well done. Thank you!
Good tips! I didn't think to cover the exposed iron inside the hub to prevent rust. Next time i pack it I'll do it right!
Thank you for such an excellent tutorial
BEST VIDEO I HAVE FOUND ON THIS TOPIC
Very helpful! Thanks so much!

Thanks for doing the video, where can I find that brass punch ?
I acquired a set of these thru an old timer mechanic. If you search Amazon, there’s some decent sets for about $30
