Pull the ball bearings, inner ring and cage out of the shaft while still assembled. Then insert a prytool between the inner ring and cage to gently pry each ball out. Finally, matchmark the cage and inner ring and then turn the cage 30 degrees and pull it off the inner ring.
Assemble in reverse order, being careful to repack bearings in the grease supplied with the kit in a thorough manner.
