Savy bike mechanics,
I have a early 1990's 8 speed Campagnolo Record rear hub that has been
bit neglected and now I cannot adjust out the slop in the bearings.
Either the wheel spins ok but flops side to side, or the bearings are
too tight. I have replaced the 1/4 inch and 7/32 inch ball bearings
on both left and right sides, and the left side cone bearing but the
slop is still there. So now I want to replace the right side cone
bearing and both inner bearing races that are pressed into the hub.
My questions:
1) How do I tell if the right side cone bearing is a separate piece
from the axle and is replacable? Or is it ground into the axle and
not replacable? The right side cone bearing is the same dark color as
the axle. If it is replacable, I figure I can drive it off with a
punch, but how do I push it back onto the axle without damaging the
bearing surface?
2) Can I replace the bearing races that are pressed into the hub? If
so, where can I get the new parts, how to I extract the bearing races
from the hub, and how do I re-install the races into the hub without
damaging them?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
