Tight Fit for Inner Wheel Bearing

[Mike1291]

I'm going through the bearings for the front of my car and found that the inner wheel bearings do not come off easily. I had to chisel them out which took the better part of an hour for both sides. The diameter of the front spindles seems to be too wide to accept a bearing without having to force it on. One of my club members said that a modification could have been done (I think he called it preening?) to make sure that only the outer part of the bearing was spinning to the hub and not on the spindle.

Does anyone have a good way of taking the bearings on/off?
