OK well first of i fried both bearings in one of em and the tire was wobbleing so bad it looked like it was going to fall off. When i took the knickle off the bearings just fell apart and all came out except the outer race of each bearing i heated it with a torch and all and they still wont come out so i need some help getting these out. And now a sencond question is does anyone know what size bearings the dynamite knuckles use?
 
should be the same as the stock bearrings arent they?

As for getting them out, find a wooden dowel, or something of the such, place the knuckle over 2 pieces of wood with the bearring being centerred over the gap, using a rubber mallet and the dowel, tap it out slowly.

The closer the size of the dowel to the bearring the better.
 
i see what your saying but the thing is the bearings were so fried that they just fell apart when i took the knuckle off so the only thing left is the outter race of the bearing so a wooden dowel wont touch it i was trying to pry it out with a small screwdriver (flat head) while it was hot from a torch but that didnt work

ok i finally figured it out but i had to get a lil creative after close to an hour I've just been sitting at my work bench staring at the knuckle thinking of a way i could posibly get the races out because they were not budging with screwdrivers or punches. So then a idea just pops into my head i see my batt powered drill and i figure why not get a large drill bit that is just like 1000th too big that will get caught up when it trys to drill through so i find one put the knuckle in a vice spray up the races with some WD-40 and give it a try the first one twisted right out but the second didn want to come out but atfer a few trys it also broke loose and twisted out. But my question still is what size are the bearings because i also do not know what the stockl size is.
