[Closed] Removing a broken bearing ... how ??

can you get a flat head screw driver behind it?

I had tihs with my reign. Resorted to putting the rear triangle in the freezer, then using a lot of precision force wit ha hammer and screw driver to get the shell out.

m****t ... no cant get a screwdriver behind it as its still fully seated ..

coner .... frezzer ?? i thought heat would of been better as the ali will expand faster than the steel , so loosening the bearing shell .. or have i got it round the wrong way and i need to frezze it not heat it ??

stumpy you have it the right way - putting the whole thning in the freezer then applying heat to the outside would be best to get the most out of differential expansion and stuff

Have thought about buying a dremel tomorrow and grinding a slot into the bearing case to break it ???
Just need to be v careful i dont grind the bearing seat...

Get a time machine and travel back to before you let the bearing get so knackered you couldn't get it all out in one go.

Hi, try googling "blind bearing puller" that should help you out.[url= http://www.toolprofessional.net/OTC-4581-Stinger-Blind-Hole-Bearing/M/B0002SRH7Y.htm?traffic_src=froogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_source=froogle-GB&id=uk ]blind bearing puller kit[/url]

As dropoff says, try and get a puller. I got a set off Ebay and has been a lifesaver to me and a few others... Where abouts are you Stumpy...?

I think the blind bearing puller kit above needs the bearing to be intact to work, as I read it you only have the outer race left? if so you can use a slide hammer with a 90 degree hook atachment http://www.justoffbase.co.uk/Slide-Hammer-Kit-9pc-Sealey-DP9-5;jsessionid=0a0106431f4302a022367557496aa0eda61bcb62c77a.e3eSc3eMbxuPe34Pa38Ta38Qbhb0?sc=9&category=192

No, you can remove outer races aswell as complete bearings. U can get the claws to grab on the bearing surface, you just need to tighten it up more. Once you have moved it a tad you can then move the claws to behind the race..

How do you use one of them there pullers then? There seem to be some around for £20 or so, and I always like a new tool;)

Personally I don't think the sealy one that snaps has highlighted will work.The blind puller kits consist of a set of split collets into which you screw a tapered bolt. This has the effect of expanding the collets into a recess ( be it the bearing race or the gap behind the bearing) on to the bolt you attach the slide hammer and pull the bearing out.

dremmel will do the job, i've had to resort to using one in similar circumstances, try grinding 3 slots (2 opposite each other)then use a large screwdriver in the slot you've created the twisting should break the shell away from the bearing seat
