Anyone ever get this fugger out easily?



Inner diameter is 8mm

Yup.

If you take a 1/4" bolt a few inches long and attach the threaded end to your slid hammer some how ( weld it to a nut or if you have an adapter to thread it into ) then grind down the hex head leaving a lip on about half of it until it will fit in the hole You will need to also relieve some of the bolt diameter to let the lip to clear the bearing. You can catch the edge of the bolt on the edge of the bearing and pop it out. Or you can buy the $200 kit that is made to do it, but the one that I had didn't have a puller tip that would fit so that may not work.

I don't have the "tool" that I made at my house but I can get it if you need a picture.

this is the kit ive got. works great, and comes with a 8mm.

Talking big $$ for a $2 bearing

Hopefully I can find someone with a puller

there's only about a mm or less of space behind the bearing

The inner bearing for the water pump shaft is 6mm, I'd like to get it too

spose you could tack weld something to the bearing and get it with a slide hammer. But I have neither a welder nor a slide hammer

You can make a slide hammer out of just about any thing. Threaded rod and something heavy.

how about heating the case a bit a putting some dry ice on the bearing? might be enough to get it looser and remove it with a screwdriver or sumthin.

you can also use concrete ancors. get one the size you need, put the bolt in a body slide hammer, and there you go.

Drill a hole from the out side of the case and drive it out with a punch! Then it will be easier next time also! You could plug the hole with some JB weld or something.

A friend already suggested that

Had an "Ohh duh!" moment

I was applying heat here



Instead of here



Heated the case around the bearing and shot it with some canned air and then slammed it down on a wooden bench, popped right out!

Still making bad noises

Pull top end next

Replaced everything in bottom end last year except the rod bearings

Had no reason to, it checked out fine

Plus I had neither the time nor the money to do anything more

I had a day to get the bottom end done before a big ride/camp out

Understood, been there.

Found it

Dang. And those were new last year?? What bearing kit did you use?

Next time take and pack that hole flush with grease and find a bolt or round stock that fits tight inside the bearing and hit it with a hammer. Refill with grease after each hit. Two or three times and it's out.
All your doing is pressing the bearing out using the grease.

Used to do the same thing with pilot bearings and bushings.
