Anybody know where I can buy a brass drift in
Melbourne or online. I am after a brass drift to remove the bearing races from my hubs etc.
Thanks,
David.

David,
As others above have mentioned.
Don`t use brass on bearings unless you are discarding them.
Brass workhardens and eventually small flakes of brass break off and possibly end up in the bearing.
In the fitting trade we always used a mild steel drift on bearings as it does not workharden, a bolt would do the job if it is mild steel .
cheers ,
