ALL BALLS REAR WHEEL BEARINGS LISTED NOW AT SINISTER ATVS REMOVING WHEEL BEARINGS:
When you knock a bearing out of a wheel, for chroming, powdercoating, etc., you are fundamentally destroying that bearing.
In fact, there's no other way to get it out without destroying it because it's pressed in on the outer diameter but access to the bearing is from the inner diameter.
So you're putting an impact force across the balls of the bearing, which damages it. It's called loading across the bearing races. You're putting little microscopic dents into the ball and the race, and over time they get aggravated.
The technical term is brinneling; when you put a shock force on an outer race to an inner race across the balls, that's what you get.
