Replacing wheel bearings on Bayou 220?

dmulc · 10-02-2007

I just picked up a 2001 Bayou 220. I don't have a manual yet.
It needs front wheel bearings. I pulled the wheels but can't get the hubs off. (The brakes are loose from them)
How do the hubs come off?

They're a standard drum brake hub. They seem like they're just rusted on. I was wondering if anyone had a trick for pulling them. I'm ordering a manual today.

u gotta get the cotter pin out and unscrew the bolt and pry it off with a flathead

use a flat head or pry bar, put pressure on the drum and tap with a hammer on the opposite side. then switch sides then alternate 90 deg at a time, till it pops off. key word tap
