Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a spot trying to get the rear wheel bearings out. There is no notch that I can get my drift punch into on the bearing spacer, and not enough lip for it to grab on the bearing race.  Any tips or tricks? Otherwise im going to have to try cutting a notch in with a dremel and pray.

you can usually get the spacer to shift to one side just enough for a god sharp edged punch to grab on the bearing.

that worked, I was able to push it down with my thumb and whack the hell out of it with the drift punch, rotate, repeat.  Both bearings popped right out
