EZ-Go bearing problem

[Monte Cristo]

I have a 2003 refurbished EZ-Go golf cart and am needing information on how to pull the right rear wheel bearings. Is there a special tool required?
Would appreciate any help?

Welcome to the forum....

Remove the brake drum.
Remove the snap ring in front of the wheel bearing.
Put the brake drum on backwards and start the nut until the axle threads are flush with the end of the nut.
Use the drum as a slide hammer to pull the axle.

The bearing is pressed on the axle...

Thanks,
Does this work for both sides?

Yes it's the same on bot sides...

I have both axles out and have had new bearing pressed on each one.
Should I apply any lubricant to the axles before I re-install them?

A little late but you could be a little oil on the axle splines and anti seize on the splines for the brake drum...

I got her up and running with no noise. Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it. It's been a long time since I have tried playing mechanic.
