Got an 04 Chopper and need the rear wheel bearings out.That said I read to press them out.That dog don't seem to hunt with this bike.To press them out they would have to be the same diameter all the way through the wheel.I've never seen a wheel like that.Am I missing something or what? I don't have much room to drive them out with a drift.I know theres' a way.
Thanks Charlie

I did it! Got me piece of copper ground rod 2 foot long.Like the one they use on your power meter box of your house.Made it easy to reach through the wheel and knock out bearings.Also you can saw off end if it gets buggered up and you have a fresh punch end.Hub was unmolested and new bearings drove in easily with a bearing-seal driver.
I bought NAPA bearings #6205VSP25...Cost $20 each.Could have gotten cheap ones for a third but these are best they sell.They are a trans axle shaft bearing for something.
As far as taking the hub apart; I didn't know it came apart.Looks like only the rotor and pulley are removeable.Didn't see any of this on any other posts.
Installed new belt ; realigned and torqued axle bolts to 50lbs.Would like to see a manual for all specs as I have none.Also a parts manual that tells makers of all parts like hand controls.
I need new rear brake pads.I got the #'s off the caliper and hope to find them from some supplier.I have several suppliers but none handle PM.
This machine isn't the easiest I ever worked on but; I usually have a manual to help.
Ant way thanks for input and smok'em till the wheels fall off.CHARLIE

I can help you with the brake pads. I have stock.

I don't have the rear axle torque spec handy but 50lbs. seems low.

If you search torque specs you will find a sticky that will be of help to you.

Hit me up if you need pads.
