    97 YZ 250 bearing installation kit?

    I pulled the rear wheel off as well as the dust covers(?)inside of the wheel . I can see the bearing casings( I believe) that the inner wheel(axel is out) are spinning on but cannot figure out how to remove them. Do I need a special tool? The bearings look to be pretty flush in there. How do I remove them so they can be replaced? Thank you

    There is sleeve inside the hub in between the 2 bearings that the axle slides through, take a socket extension and stick it partway though and apply side pressure (pry it) and the sleeve should move to the side exposing the inner bearing race. Take a long 3/8" extension and insert it though the hub to the exposed inside bearing race an tap the extension with a hammer working your way around and round the bearing gently tapping the bearing out. The sleeve will now come out. Flip the wheel over and do the same on the other side.
    Make sense?
