All my snap rings pliers have always been junk. Got a set of these when I changed my wheel bearings thr first time. Quality tool compared to anything I've owned. Lowes stocks them also if you have a store nearby.
2017 P1K-3 w/ 3200 miles, I'm the second owner and the previous owner said he drove it around his property to feed critters and such. After I looked his property up on ONx I noticed he there is a creek he had to cross to access his back 40. Driver side rear had a squeak so I decided to replace all of them and one axle was bad so I figured I'd just replace everything. The bearings I purchased are iconic race bearings which are sealed and don't require greasing.
I thought the same thing but when I called them they told me that "groove" doesn't allow grease to pass through. I can post some pics of them since I'm not able to install yet
I cut a piece of 1/4" plate and ground it to fit through the hub. I still use a socket for pushing it's the one that takes the axel nut loose by memory I think its 1 3/16" the plate spreads the load just enough to push the race out of the hub. I use a 12 ton harbor freight press when possible. I beat my first one in on the trailer between rides and had to replace it a ride or two later. I believe I damaged it driving it in with the hammer.
I use a 50mm or 52mm socket and a BAH to beat them out. I put the bearing in the freezer for a few hours. I use the old bearing and a smaller hammer to tap the new bearing in. I don't recommend any of this except the bearing in the freezer. I only do it this way because it's all I got to work with. I damaged the first bearing I replaced using a socket to tap the new bearing in.
So I guess iconic doesn't know their own product but you are correct sir!! It's a 2 piece inner race
