Could be a dumb question, but is there a reason or purpose for the aluminum sleeve between the wheel bearings on the wheels. I think anyone who has removed the wheel bearings knows what type of obstacle this creates, and I know they make a special tool. But, is there any reason it is there, it would make swapping bearings much easier if it did not exist and they could be punched out, or pulled with just about any bearing puller. So when I take out my bearings tomorrow do I leave it out, or will my bike never start again without it?
