Yanmar YM2000 front wheel bearing

fox5flyer · Sep 7, 2023

My Yanmar 2wd tractor left front inner wheel bearing has failed and I'm not sure what to do here as I haven't been able to remove it from the hub. Is there a trick to this? There doesn't seem to be any spring clips or anything holding them in there, maybe just pressed in? Do I need to buy a new hub? If so, any hints where I can obtain one? Ebay?
Any help appreciated.

Best I could find was a a parts book for YM2210. That
model has the common tapered roller bearing found in
many such applications. In almost all wheel bearing
configurations the outer race is press fit into the hub.
Usually a good punch and hammer will drive them out.
Usually the moving the punch back a forth from one
side to the other between every couple of hits allows
you to drive it out without it getting cocked. Placing
the old race on the new one face to face can make a
great driver to pound the new one back in. Just be
careful not to drive the old one into too far so that it
gets stuck. The old bearings should have numbers on
them, with them you should be able to acquire
replacements. Start at an auto parts store many times
they have them in stock or can order them. If need be
you may have to search out a nearby bearing and seal
wholesaler, ..Motion.. has a lot of locations.

Thanks for the help. The bearing is the inner unit and is a sealed ball type bearing, but pretty much falling apart and I can't figure out how to get it out. Seems there should be a cir-clip of some sort, but doesn't seem to be as it shows in the blowup on Hoye. Easy fix if I can get the darn thing out. I was tired and this morning I'll attack it again. If not, I'll take it down NAPA to see if any of those guys know the trick.
Thanks, again.

If the inner brg. Is stuck to the hub then the seal must be
behind it also. A picture of this would help also. It cant
be stuck that tight. Get a brg. Splitter and puller rigged
up and pull it off. Hard to give details when u cant see
the problem.

Thanks for the response. I was able to get a bearing from NAPA that was in stock then took it down the street to Hart Tire, a place that will take on any project. Asked them to work their magic on the bearing replacement and they called me later on in the day saying I could pick it up. Amazing service! He has some special tool that pulls the bearing out and pressed the new one in. Good price. NAPA price for the bearing wasn't so good though.
Anyway, all is back in order and life is good.
