I use a long 20" x 3/8" diam steel rod for a punch. They come out easy. Circlips hold in one side. Cam.

Here is where I bought the bearings for the extra set of wheels I bought to put my sand tires on. I have not installed them yet, but they look good.

I use a screw driver or a punch to get them out and a big craftsman socket to put them back in. Craftsman replaces them for free when you mushroom them from all the hammer beating. ;)

Gotta love craftsman. Sometimes it's hard to keep a straight face when your getting something replaced that has big hammer marks all over it!! :D Cam.
