Re: G2 rear bearing replacement
Nope, if it can be changed, it will require a hydraulic shop press. If it cannot be pressed off, it will have to be removed from the hub flange side (that job is a grinder and a welder).

Re: G2 rear bearing replacement
Yes a G2 needs the hub ground loose and a press to push the bearing off and on. Then it needs welded back together.

Re: G2 rear bearing replacement
thanks tech and shep for the reply.
so i don't know how to grind that off and I darn sure can't weld. May I ask for your advice on where in the world I could take my cart to have help with this? Shoot, the bearing sets are only like $40. Small machine shop kind of thing? |

Re: G2 rear bearing replacement
Yep, I bet a local Fab/machine shop could handle it fairly easily. Unfortunately, this turns into a job that some "home gamers" aren't up to. And that weld job is gonna need some heat that a dinky 110v welder might might not provide.

Re: G2 rear bearing replacement
thanks tech! I guess i will try to buddy on up with some local guy and explain what needs to go on with it. Hoping it's not going to be some foreign language to them but it should be ok right?
"Hey man i have this old golf cart and the bearing is behind a welded hub that needs to be ground off , new bearings installed then re-welded." That's going to be par for the course with a standard mechanic right? |

Re: G2 rear bearing replacement
I think so, especially if you bring the shaft with you, since it's out already anyway.

wheels off then i am looking at the hub. I reached back and felt that there were i think screws on the back side of the hub. I loosen those up and i would imagine the hub opens up to what should be the shaft which has my bearing on it? Is it as simple from that point to just extract the shaft to take into a guy to grind and weld? Hope that sounds on track. I have no clue what's really inside of there. Thanks again for your advice and help. This is a ton of fun for me also but I couldn't do much without getting to hear from minds like the ones found on this site. Very thankful! |

Re: G2 rear bearing replacement
You are on the right track, should be 4 bolts, then manuvering the retainer plate and brake assy to get it to come out. Don't be surprised if it doesn't just "fall right out" in your hand...
