Replacing dyna wheel bearings
Before I can ship my rims off to be chromed, I need to get the bearings pulled. And then they'll need to be replaced. I'm told I need a shop to do this or I need a bearing puller. Is that tool expensive and/or is it specific to the bearing size/bike model or is it a generic tool that a parts store might have? And if they have to be pulled, what is required to get them back in?

Appears there is a tool for removing and another for installing. Since it's not something I'll be doing very often, I guess I may as well let the chromer remove them and let my indy reinstall them. Thanks for the feedback.
Anyone know what size the bearings are on 07 dynas? 1" or 25mm?

Hmm, maybe it's not too expensive. I just reread chrome pros pricing and it's $25 PER WHEEL for bearing removal and $25 PER WHEEL for bearing race removal (whatever that is). This stuff is foreign to me guys - help me out if you can. I know what bearings are but don't know what a "race" is or if it's something I even need to be concerned with.
Just an FYI - there are no shops where I live. I'd have to take them 60 miles away to get someone to remove them for me and then back once I'm ready to put everything back together.

A auto shop should be able to do it especially one that has a machine shop. Or any tire and balancing place.

The install is done with a hydraulic press the removal is done with tool like a gear puller. The 07axles are 1".
