Huh? you mean wheel bearings like on an auto or trailer? You don't use a
punch, they fall out. Might use a punch to remove a grease seal if you
don't plan on reusing it.



Then you are have only replaced 1/2 of the bearing. The race that comes
with the bearing has to be pressed in or out and should be replaced when the
bearing is replaced.


I guess it is the terminology. But when you
grease a wheel bearing you don't remove the race.
And when you replace a bearing, most sources also
caution you to replace the race. That caution
indicates that the race is separate. So is the
race a part of the bearing or is the cage and
rollers the bearing? Regardless of the
terminology, the unit to change in a saw is one
piece and in a car is two pieces, so there is a
considerable difference between a bearing for a
saw and a bearing for a wheel.
