front wheel bearing removal

[tallaghan]

Hi there

I need to replace the bearings on the front wheel of my 2001 GZ250. I took off the front wheel last weekend but it's not that easy to get the old bearings out. I know there are bearing removal tools out there but money is tight and I want to avoid having to buy one.

I tried banging it out from the other side but there is not much of the old bearing showing.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance

Michael
