6180 Front Swivel housing bearings

[TrewithickFarm]

I need to do the bearings on the front swivel housing of MF 6180. Is it a fairly straight forward job? Do i need a special tooling?

Thanks
Steve

In an ideal world You will need a large piece of threaded rod with a M22 adaptor on the end and a piece of pipe with a large washer on the end to pull the pins out. In the real world you will need heat to free the pins or even cut them out.

a hollow core ram and a porta power will be your best friend here, havnt done a massey one yet but ive done the JD ones and by christ they need some pressure to move them.

I have got heat and have a portapower. Not sure what you mean by a hollow core ram...?

It's a cylinder with a hole through it so you can pull rather than push.
Even tho it looks dear its cheap compared to the likes of an enerpac.
