how do I remove the inside front wheel bearings?? I dont want to destroy the retainer.

 

It would help if we could know what you are working on.

 

sorry. 1955 f100 ...damn egocentrism

 

Remove the brake drum and tap the inside wheel bearing out from the inside.

 

Use a wooden dowel or a brass rod to tap them out like ranger pat says. Then you shouldn't damage the bearing or it's race. The seal will come out with the bearing. I would recommend you replace the seals, it isn't worth trying to reuse them. There're cheap enough. ...Terry
