Now how do you guys get them out,, and I don't mean send it in. Thanks Jim
Ok,, I have been flying Saito's since the first 1.8 hit the hobby shop. It has been doing well hauling a heavy stinger around. However it began a bottom end knock this weekend and I suspected bearing. I pulled it down and found metal flakes and a very rough bearing. more

How do you get the BEARINGS out. I got the front out easily enough, but the rear.
The most dangerous tool you may have in your kit might well be a two-arm jaw puller. These devices, used correctly, can safely remove a press-fitted bearing from a shaft. But in many cases, the jaws of the puller don't reach the inner ring, which would be the safest place to apply the pulling force. So, we place the puller jaws on the outer ring and tighten the center spindle of the puller to apply the removal force. If the outer ring is slightly misaligned, you're applying force to two balls or rollers, and it's much more likely you'll fracture the bearing outer ring, sending dangerous chips flying. There is also a chance the puller may slip off entirely if we aren't watching what we're doing.
In all cases, if applying force to the OUTER ring, rotate the puller as you remove the bearing. You may hear the rollers "clunk" into place as the pulling force is evenly distributed through all the rolling elements to the bearings rings. more
The safest method? Pull on the proper ring of the bearing – the one with the press fit. There are tools available to do the job. Is there a common thread developing here? Let's all take the time to get the right tool to do the job. It's almost always safer, faster, and less destructive to the rest of the machine parts.

They may be either tapered roller bearings or ball bearings . Both types need regular adjustment (See Adjusting wheel bearings ) and lubrication with grease.
Replace a worn or damaged bearing as soon as possible.
Turn the hub outer side down and use a screwdriver to prise out the grease seal, noting which way round it is fitted. [links]
