I"m working at finishing restoration on a 1950 Farmall H with row-crop front wheels. While packing the wheel bearings on the left front wheel, I discovered that the inner and outer bearing grease retainers are completely missing. The up-side is that this allowed me to remove much of the "ancient" grease in the inner cavity of the hub. The right side still has both grease retainers intact.........but I would like to remove them so that I can remove the old grease in that right hub, as well. The retainers are held in place by the bearing cup (race) on either side of the hub. I"m wondering if I can just use a punch or drift to buckle each retainer to the point where it could be yanked out "by the roots", so to speak. With today"s modern lubricants, I don"t think those retainers even need to be there but I really don"t want to get into the nasty task of trying to remove the cups (races) just to get the retainers out. Any one else encountered this problem? Thanks. Alan
