Rawl Bolts and Wheel Bearings.

Haven't done it, *yet*. ;)

I've just read about a trick for removing sealed wheel bearings using
what we know as a 'Rawl Bolt', a drift and a press.



Insert the Rawl Bolt into a bearing and tighten as hard as you can.
Flip the wheel and press the bearing out using the drift, as the bearing
is now effectively solid.
Flip the wheel again and the bearing on the other side can be removed
easily using the drift as it's now just sitting there, all naked like.
