Hi all. I am trying to replace the bearings on a Cowley double drive wheel. Problem is after removing the motor etc I cannot remove the larger wheel bit inside to access the bearings.
Anyone got any ideas that won't damage it!
Also I've never been able to remove the wheel head either. It's a very old machine.
Many thanks

Thanks so much, yes that's the one. I'm not with the wheel right now but will send pics tomorrow. The problem is I can't access the bearings to get them out. As the large pulley (under the wheel head) is in the way. I assume this should pull off once the bolt is removed (which it is) . The instructions in the manual say remove the 'main spindle assembly' then replace the bearings. Perhaps this means I need to remove more than just the pulley. No wheel maintenance people our way but I will hunt out a second pair or mechanical eyes on this one!!
