DT 240 Front Hub bearing removal

[rpettet]

Need to change bearings and was wondering if special tools are required? Could I tap the axle out with a rubber mallet? If so, I think the bearings could be easily removed.

Thanks

Once you pull the endcap off the end of the axle doesn't protrude much from the hub - simply using a rubber mallet won't be enough. You'll need to find something which you can place on top of the axle to strike.

I was googling this the other day and also stumbled onto a little tool thing called a half moon key. It seems to work in place of using a screwdriver.

Anyone know best way to remove without special tools?
