Wheel Bearing and Wheel Seal; Removal Ralt Series1-5

[Jerry Poole]

Has any one on the forum had any experience with removing/servicing the wheel bearings, seals  (F/R), from the magnesium carriers used on the Ralt RT1-5?  I know there is a special extra deep socket with engagement lugs needed and I can source this tool.  Any suggestions on heating the carrier/bearing?  Heat source, temperature required to loosen,  etc.  Could anyone suggest a professional or quality shop that could perform this procedure in the US?  THANKS!!!! for any input and suggestions.  Jerry

You are half way there if you have the tool to remove the SKF KM6 bearing nuts. PM me your email and I can send you the Ralt service bulletins for bearing removal/ install if you like.
