Getting bearing off

[Pistonbroke]

Had to have my chin glued after I hit a bearing and bits flew!

This one cut through a vein and my arm blew up like balloon. Must have been on the nerve because I couldn't use three fingers for a week

Those flanged bearings are Sods to get off as mentioned destroy outer to get to inner race.
Carefully and wear goggles.

And knee protectors

Cast iron , dangerous gear

Be careful hitting a bearing with a hammer,can chip and fly anywhere. Last time I did one the chip went through two layers of clothes into my arm. Still in there

Dead right.

I ended up with a Chelsea smile breaking one with a lump hammer, caught me in the corner of my mouth, an eye wouldn’t of stood a chance.

The chips were off the face of the hammer. I'd cranked the puller as tight as I dared and thought a few whacks on the side of the race would shift it

If you use hammer and chisel wear goggles... I made up a pullers to do similar job ... looks like a replacement bearing has been fitted sometime also looks like a cover is fitted so hiding grease point

That’s how the bearing looks from new, pickup reel on a Mchale baler.

Good tool used to have something similar but 9 times outta ten in Agri situation it was hopeless but in a cleaner environment eg not so much rust it would do the job

[Oldmacdonald]

THat looks the business.

 

[smcapstick]

Heat. It can’t be tight if it’s liquid.

We've got loads of kit that we've bought to make it easier 'next time' - and never needed it again....

I weld all the way round the bearing I find that the best way to really get it hot quickly they often move then or even crack as they cool down

 

[daveydiesel1]

Your deffinitely gettin plenty of advertising done tonight

 

[ARW]

For future reference keep the old bearing inner sleeve that you cracked to get off, then next time you can weld it to the bearing and get the pullers on it
