I am planning on powdercoating my big hit frame. I have it disassembled and I was wondering if I can remove the bearings from the pivot points without damaging them? I can't powdercoat the rear of the frame with the bearings in. Is there any alternative that I could use to paint the rear flat black that is strong and won't chip? Bed liner? Any idea on removing the bearings without damage? Its not worth spending $60+ on bearings to do this. Any ideas? Thanks
