1990 water pump bearing

[Nvrdie]

Hey all,

I'm in the middle of replacing the water pump seal on my 90 kdx200.The Winderosa kit came with new bearings but I can't seem to get the old one out of the engine case. Is a puller of some kind needed?




I figure I'd replace the kipps governor bearings as well since I'm in here and it feels like the bearings have some play but I can't get either of them out. Should I heat the case cover to get the bearing out?





Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the edit! The images looked good in the preview and wouldn't load when I used the img tags but I must have had had the wrong url.

What's "load bread"?

Also, look up blind bearing puller.

Hahaha no wonder I couldnt find anything who would have thought to search for bread puller haha.
Thats amazing though ill give it a try with some paper and see how it goes.

Thanks!

Blind bearing puller and a torch. Heat the case around the bearing (a piece of dry ice on the bearing while you do it helps too) and bearing puller. Or load bread!! (Which is a descriptive way of identifying it lol)

I spell really well, but type poorly sometimes. :-)

Proofreading is not my strong point!
