Location: West Chester, OH | Replacing the races, as part of the “new bearing drill,” is best done w/a special driver. I know guys who tap them in very carefully w/a punch, but I wouldn’t trust myself to do it.
If your current bearings & races are not pitted, cracked or discolored, you might consider just re-packing them & installing new seals. If your spindles are equipped w/speedi-sleeves, replace them @ any sign of wear. Worn sleeves cause premature seal leakage.
I re-seal & re-pack every season & have replaced speedi-sleeves 2 times but still run original bearings & races on an ’88 Shorelander.
