Ok, so like me, if one of your bearings say, in a wheel collapses and your left with the outside race in there and are TRUELY stumped as to how to get it out, fear not, Aikman has a solution!
1. Hold wheel vertically, as verticle as you can get
2. Load all the ball bearings you have left into the outside race until it reaches half full
3. Slide the inside race in, applying pressure onto the bearings
4. Flip wheel horizontal with the bearing facing UP keeping pressure
5. Use a small screwdriver to space out the balls as equally as you can get
6. Pressure the inside race TOWARDS you to prevent the balls moving
7. Flip the wheel so the bearing is now facing DOWNWARDS, ontop of two peices of wood, spaced wider than the bearing
8. Smash the shit out of the inside race from the other side
9. Complete bearing pops out - Great success
10. Celebrate
So if your ever faced with this situation, now you know. It had quite a few people stumped (credit to Banditshigh for the idea!) ____________________ Will work for petrol

Or failing that, take it to work and use the bearing puller
ive had a few bad bearings in my time, dremmels are somtimes good if there really bad (and you have a steady hand)
sounds like you had fun anyway, no smashed knuckles? ____________________ Current : 06 Zx10r, 07 Wr450f SM, 74 850 norton commando, 63 bsa b40, 1962 Triton 650, 67 Triumph Tr6r, 1955 Triton 750, 1978 TY250E. |

Your plan would have been good except from 2 vital flaws
A. I dont have a bearing puller
B. I dont have a dremmel
Otherwise i would have just skipped this whole fucking carry on and popped it straight out And I did strangely have fun. I sat on my garage floor in disbeleif after 2 days of prising, heating, spraying, hitting, crying, swearing it came out like that! And no skint knuckles funnily enough, cut my finger on the saw though ____________________ Will work for petrol

My way:
Get a crowbar that will fit under the outer race enough to get a grip and start to lever it out. The crowbar will be working against itself holding it tight in so use a metal bar to hammer at the crowbar from the other side and this should slide it out. ____________________ Go back to bed - You have no rights - "Streetfighters ~ Mainstream motorcycling's crackwhore sister." |
