How does one remove failed blind bearing outer casing?

[Pilatus]

As above, a blind/flushfit bearing has disintegrated on my firewood processor, how do I get the outer casing out that remains. I have looked at some YOU Tube videos, that show that if a bead of weld is applied to the outer casing they just fall out, does that really happen???? Needless to say I don't have a welder ,which led me to ask about welding and welders on another thread.

Weld inside outer race. Let it cool, then it falls out. Done it several times.

If you don't have access to a welder or cutting bottles you'll have to smash it out with a hammer and chisel.
They will shatter 'cos they are very hard.
WEAR GOGGLES 'cos the splinters will fly.

Yup welding woks.
Is there a lip to get a set of pullers on behind it?

 

[Triangle]

Vote for the weld bead every time almost seams to easy when it just falls out

Thanks for asking but answer is "No",also the bearing opposite is ok,so very limited to get a pry bar etc through centre of ok bearing,to hit failed bearing outer casing out even if their were a lip.

Even a decent blow torch will help heat it if you haven't got access to a welder

If you haven’t got a welder then just smash it up with a hammer and chisel.

Yep, Swan Vestas on their own just won't get it hot enough

Weld a bead inside the race or weld a flat bar with a nut onto it and use a sliding hammer to take it out.

Yes every time , don’t need a lot of weld , get some one to pop in and do it even a 13 amp plug in will do it

It might not get the bearing out but it will make you feel better

When you weld inside the race it’s not the heat that loosens it really, it’s the weld contracting as it cools.

How close is the other bearing you speak of? , a pic would tell a lot.

 

[Pilatus]

Many thanks to you all.A guy I know kindly ran a bead of weld around it and then tapped out casing out of housing.Oh how having the right tools for a job can make life that little bit easier and less frustrating!!

Weld it. High heat. Yes it will drop out

Once saw a man knock a spigot bearing out of a flywheel with some bread. Yes bread!
Just kept stuffing bits of bread in behind the bearing and then using a tight fitting drift to compress it. Then stuff more in and compress. Eventually there was so much bread compacted behind the bearing, as he hit the drift it forced the bearing out.
Guess the bread has some fluid characteristics

Only works in a morning though - after dinner nobody has any bread left in their pack up box
