something I've never done how do you get the rear wheeel bearings out of an 83 1100e without an expensive kit

Carefully with a punch from the back side... I have the Pit Posse kit. Works very well. The other way to do it is get an expanding anchor bolt, fix it to the bearing inner & hit from the back with a punch. That's basically a DIY of the same method the Pit Posse kit uses....
(Pit posse is a split steel rod that goes into the bearing & then you hit a chisel into the split so it expands and pushes the bearing out).1980 GS1000G - Sold

From the other side, I use a long round chisel with a flattened end, so that it's mushroomed out slightly. It's always been enough to just contact the outer race and move it, then the other side, and so on.
Top Tip: get Koyo if you can. Avoid Chinese ball bearings at all costs.
Koyo hardly cost much and they'll last the life of the bike.Dave

Another idea. Basically the same principal as the pit posse tool.

I've used the mushroomed chisel method too. If stubborn, remove seal if present use a little penetrate overnight, little heat they will pop right out. Good advise on bearings, I would also advise to get sealed bearings, they dont go dry until there dead.Current Rides: 82 GS1100E, 00 Triumph 955 Speed Triple:twistedevil:, 03 Kawasaki ZRX1200, 01 Honda GL1800, '15 Kawasaki 1000 Versys
