New user sends greetings from Holland

My first account was not fully functional. I could login and read messages, but no posting.
So , i created another account, and now I can post, weird ?

Well, I just bought my first enduro ever, the FE 450 2009.
I've ridden allroad bikes such as Suzuki DRZ400-S,Honda XL 500, Yamaha XT 500.

Suzuki DR 650 SE, Yamaha DT 400 2 stroke. The last 2 bikes are with me now.
And now the Fe 450. Unfortunately the weather now is crap. Not nice to ride in.
I'm allready trying to replace the front wheel bearings.
The old ones are out, and the new ones are now lying in the deepfreeze.
I have no appropriate tool to push them in, so i hope to use a heat gun for the hubb, so that the cold bearings just fall into place.

Well, i have more questions, but that's for another thread.

Hi Bluto,

I've allready looked,but the largest socket is just too small.
And I have no pieces of pipe with a 44,5 mm diameter.
And buying a complete bearing driver kit is not an option. those things are over € 100, and I will use it how many times ? 1 , 2 ?

I could go to a machineshop that can make somekind of tool , but I can try using the heat/cold bearing option

tourist: Don't worry about the jokes Yeah, I suppose it will work. A piece off firm plastic pipe, but even finding the right diameter pipe is quite difficult.
The outer shell is very thin.

But Bergbro has a great idea. Normally using the old bearing would only allow you to slide it in the thickness of the bearing, otherwise you would punch in the old bearing too.
But grinding it off along its perimeter.Great idea.
