1972 cb750 rear wheel bearings

[met2]

gday all.....i have a 1972 cb750/4 and i wanted to replace the rear wheel bearings ....
all 3 of them....the question is what is the best way to remove the two bearings that are on the wheel itself and
the 3rd one on the hub....is there a quick and easy way....best way?

Unthread the retainers - #28 & 23 - then with a long drift (punch) ya just hammer them out from the inside. Install new ones by using a bearing driver or socket of sufficient diameter to drive on the outer race.

You are going to need a "pin wrench" for bearing retainers #23 and #28. You will also need to drill the "stakes" around the perimeter of the collars prior to removal. You don't have to drill very deep and be aware that you are working with soft aluminum.

Yep; "pin wrench", store-bought on right, homemade on left (much better than beating the retainers out with a punch). Still need a big drift on the bearings.
