Ok, viewed from the splined end all I've reroved came off ccw (righty tighty, lefty loosy) like everything else. Even with the special wrench, these are tight! I tap them off with a punch and small hammer, working around the roots of the teeth. You will still have to press the bearings off unless you have the Alfa bearing removal tool, and then press the new ones on. Unless you have the proper tools and knowledge, this R&R is a job for a machine shop, particularly with the cost of the 750 bearings! Shop around, try Alfa Stop in GB, and Ok parts in Germany. Unfortunately these are not as common as the 101 and later bearings, but good ones will last.
Nice the way the canter section falls out isn't it? Find any loose bolts? Look carefully at the edges of the tapered carrier bearings. They will probably be ok, but ANY chipping at the edges of the rollers, or scoring of the races, indicate time for replacement. I seldom replace these as routine, as they hold up well. Best, Gordon Raymond
