Hello Guys,
I am going to get the wheels on my 2012 R1200RT powder coated, and for this reason I need to remove the front wheel bearings.
Is it possible to knock them out the traditional way with a drift and hammer or is a bearing puller tool required?. The reason I ask is that I have read that the spacer that sits between the bearings cant be dislodged to expose the edge of the race thus requiring the bearing puller, can any of you guys confirm this or can I get at it with a drift?
