Chris Wilson Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Easy way: With a slide hammer and a split collet bush removing tool. Trickier but another possible way: Close fitting round steel bar, pack spigot bearing with grease (NO air voids)insert bar into the end of the bearing, belt bar with big hammer, the grease hydraulics out the bearing, or repeat until successful or you give up and buy the right tool.

Chris Wilson Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Like the second one, but you won't get anything good for 25 quid. I think the collets for a decent one are a lot more than that. It may do one or two bushings though, if it's just for home use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 OK, right, I only glanced at it, that should be fine then. There's not much choice between the proper tool and the hydraulic trick. I have got dozens of bushings out with grease where I haven't had the right collets. It does work, with patience. Sometimes they just pop straight out, sometimes they can be a PITA.

4packet Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I used a slide hammmer with modified bolt. I ground the bolt hex head to something more round (180deg worth of it) and then hooked the head round the back of the bearing. Pulled it out with reasonable ease. Another method is to use an appropriately sized rawlbolt. I failed with this method, but that may have been my own fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
