Default Trailer bearings

Hello all

Today i decided to repack my boat trailer bearings

After dismantling them, it appears one had a leaky seal and the inside bearing was rusty.

So decided to replace them.

I managed to remove the outer (small bearing) cups from the hubs but struggling to remove the inner (large) cups.

They have practically no over hang for them to be punched / pressed out.

Any suggestions?

thanks
Luke

Thanks

I tried a heap with a cold chisel, just kept slipping.

Managed to get it out after a tip from another forum - ran a weld bead along it which contracted it and it popped right out!
