Can someone tell me how to remove the rear bearing retainer on an 8N's front wheel hub? Can it be removed and reused? All I want to do is clean and repack the bearing. Also, the threaded end of the spindle has what looks like a keyway cut into it, but no key is necessary. What's this for?

Thanks for the help guys !! It got the retainer out - no problem. I should have known the "keyway" was actually for a tabbed washer. What threw me was that my washer was missing.

Whooly, The inner bearing can be pushed out of the hub from the opposite side. All that keeps the cone (roller bearing part) from coming out is the seal.If you have to replace the bearing, drive the cup out from the opposite side with a drift. There should be notches in the inner casting of the hub to help get it started. Work it out evenly. Don't drive on just one side. If the bearing and cone are good there is no reason to remove the cup. Clean everything good, pack it with grease and install new seals. They are cheap.
The washer that goes between the nut and bearing should have a tab on the inside that goes into the keyway cut on the spindle. Dave <*)))><

Get yourself a good long punch and a heavy hammer.
Lay the wheel hub down and drive the race out.
Thats what the book says to do.
I just done the same thing to my 8n.
