The puller goes underneath, you don't want pressure on the bearing itself, will make it harder to slide off.

[@philgrimes6137]

I took mine to the machine shop, had them pull it and then turn down the pinion where the bearing would just slide on and off. when the rear end wasn't right the first time I could adjust it and just pull the bearing off. no more machine shop. great!

[@BeeftallicA]

You have to be trolling. That is probably the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Inner races are press fit for a reason. How long before you fried the pinion? SMDH.

[@philgrimes6137]

No elliston, you're full of shit. They are pressed on because they are easier to set up when they won't move. You don't know what you are talking about. You're the troll.

[@larrychristopher9147]

TURN THE PINION DOWN??? CAN'T FIX STUPID

[@oto169]

Pulling that bearing off by the cone front face rib is a good way to loose an eye or break your teeth when the bearing breaks under the force of the puller. If you are going to do it that way at least wrap a rag around the bearing to contain the shrapnel. Trust me I am a millwright in my 60's and have been hit in the teeth from exploding bearings not to mention the people I have worked with over the years that have sight in one eye only from removing bearings in an unsafe manor. Do it right or don't do it at all.

[@speedy0160]

Dude you saved the day!!!! We were looking for a larger bearing puller and could not find one, you saved us from having to cut the thing off. Worked amazingly well!!!!

[@MrBrobilly]

with no puller simply turh the shaft up the other way, apply heat to the race with propane torch till the race fall off. millwright for 35years

[@superbestdad]

If the pinion or ring gear are to be reused you might not want to heat the part. The hardening is important. You do what you have to, just saying

[@MrBrobilly]

If its going to be reused you dont have to take it off. if you are gentle with the heat it wont hurt it, 250 degrees will do it. It will fall off when it expands. oils starts to smoke at 300 degrees, the bearing wont get hurt till 350. and there will be a lot of smoke, oil can flash after that.

[@superbestdad]

MrBrobilly on a GM pinion maybe but on most others the press fit is too tight, if I'm not mistaken you only get about .001" expansion for every 100 deg F. And the temp required has to be quickly added to keep the pinion from leeching and expanding. I've done it this way many times when I started working but have evolved and found better ways. For the sake of the do it yourselfer your method does work, use caution though

[@charliedee9276]

If you have a welder a bead run on the race being removed will allow it to pretty much fall out also. I have removed many hub bearing races from old Harley wheels with that method.

[@MrSexoda]

I always sat the gear in an ice water soaked rag when heating the race. And I've found if you try to concentrate the heat in one or two places rather than the whole thing it works better and faster. Never once did the shaft change color( which is a sign of weakening the heat treated steel.). Changed them on all different kinds of shafts like the differential plus many different differentials from cars to semis to large boats even. Even if it doesn't fall off , a screwdriver or small pry bar always was able to get it off.

[@paulc7973]

This is not the way the removal kit is intended to be used. The two cheeks should be fitted at the base of the bearing and gradually tightened. They act like a wedge. It is not necessary to remove the roller cage

[@handymanPF]

+paul c there was barely any clearance between the pinion and bearing To do it the textbook way. So I improvised and I survived.

[@jerryreynolds1334]

exactly!

[@handymanPF]

Mike M that's correct. I did not reuse the pinion gear because I bought a new ring and pinion set. But I only thrashed the old bearing and not the pinion gear itself. I did it the way I did because of the lack of clearance between the bearing and pinion. I hope you found this information useful. Thanks for watching and commenting.

This was more than a few years ago. The one thing that spooked me was the bend you were getting in the bearing separator bolts.

[@handymanPF]

Yeah it was quite a bit ago also that was bothering me also the bend in the bolts. But I had no room to get it between the pinion and the pinion bearing.

[@seannot-telling9806]

@@handymanPF At the time you do what you have to do. If you had access to a larger splitter the bending would of been less do to larger bolts. The worry about the smaller splitter is that it could pop off the bearing your pulling and hurt someone. As some have said wrapping the assembly in a towel would be a good idea to slow any parts that might come flying off of something were to slip or break. Stay safe.

You can also cut the bearing off if you have a steady hand

[@martinlavoie4002]

Just an idea something I Do once the bearing has pulled up enough. It’s a good idea to re rig the set up and grab the race from the bottom where the pignion gear. You get more meat to grab I have seen the upper lip crack and shatter. Just something I do and would recommend also I like to use a hydraulic press with the bearing separator but when you don’t have hydraulic press then the old screw press works

[@david667766]

Agree with alot of comments here, simply adding heat will make this job a lot easier. For the safety of people watching this, assume the bearing / pullers will break so protect your eyes/face!!

[@lisab3396]

Even though this is a fairly old thread, it is still relevant! In comments below, MrBrobilly had the closest solution to do this bearing removal. However, there is one more stage to actually making sure that the bearing will simply slide off or gently pull off and thus avoiding any potential damage to the shaft or the thread end. Once you have the Pinion out, wipe excess oil off and then put the Pinion into a plastic bag and then put into a freezer for an hour. Place the Pinion on a bench with the bearing facing down and then apply gentle heat with a propane torch to the bearing circumference and the bearing should expand and fall off. Do not apply heat to the Pinion!! If the bearing doesn't fall off, just repeat the process of freezing the Pinion and bearing, remove from the freezer and attach the puller and apply heat again to the bearing only. You will be able to remove the bearing by hand. Remember that in life; what a man can do, a woman can do better. Be fair warned! By the way.. When installing the new bearing. Never pound the bearing on! Clean off the Pinion shaft and put back into the freezer for an hour. Prepare the bearing by warming the inner bearing race to about 140-F degree. Take the Pinion out and place it upright on the bench and put a little oil on it, put oil on the inner race and slip the bearing over the Pinion quickly. It should slip all the way down and seat itself. If not sure, then tape it down with the old race or a socket!

[@BobWilson84]

Great video, and I agree removing the bearing cage will help. However, the tapered halves should slide between the bearing and pinion as the pinch bolts are tightened. Above all else, be careful. Use a heavy rag around the race Incase it shatters.

Gotta do this in my 02' Blazer ZR2. Everything is tight & I had 3 shops tell me that the noise was a bad wheel bearing. I changed the 2 Hub Assemblies in front & the Rear Bearings & seals only to still have that noise. Then we figured out it was my pinion bearing. $300 for a shop to install, so I'm letting them do it.. That's with me buying the parts.

[@williamhaggadone4818]

wow some of the people on here have really good ways of do the job! but, the 1st tool he used is called a bearing splitter & if he had used it correctly he could of had it off alot faster!! the splitter goes between the pinion & bearing with the same flare side up like he had it. then tighten the nuts and then the splitter will force the bearing away from pinion. then use the rest as he did and presto off quicker!!!!

[@josephmartin2362]

The splitter is too small to do the job properly. Otherwise your comments are correct.

[@abdulhassan1107]

I tried that without cutting off the cage and it worked fine. The old bearing is still reusable. But it wasn't easy. I need to do it again to change the shim and I hope I don't damage the new bearing so I'll use a heat gun first.

[@johnnyonnotice]

Exactly

[@johnnyonnotice]

First guy to say it.

[@johnnyonnotice]

You got it

[@jheetman]

sometimes i'll use a die grinder with a small cutoff wheel to cut a groove in the inner race and than hit the groove with a chisel and crack the race, or run a bead of weld around it and tap it off, all depends solely on the feels of that day.

[@josepeixoto3384]

TWO great solutions people,have done that many times.

[@bjr2379]

I once hit an inner race with a chisel. The cutting edge of the chisel is still in my leg.

[@highvelocity123]

Sometimes you can put the whole thing in the freezer, take it out, put a little heat on the bearing and slide it right off. To put the new bearing on, do the same thing. Don't put the new bearing in the freezer...just warm it up...lol

[@superbestdad]

always a great technique for home do it yourselfers, we all have ovens and freezers and time

[@ws678ta]

Yes, that works great. It is only .0015 interference fit.

[@jojodiver8706]

Wait. What? No. The round wedge shape of the puller halves are meant to go beneath the bottom of the race in which to use the bolts to wedge the halves together wedging the race upwards. But you're doing great. Everybody learns something the hard way sometimes.

[@Hdefhm31]

A bigger impact gun has a hammering effect and it seems to make them come off easier. Heat helps too. Split many in half by grinding a slot and sticking a cold chisel in and hitting with a mini sledge. Put the bearing puller under the race too. Much harder to shatter it that way. Putting it on the upper lip leaves just a little material to rely on for strength. Putting it under the bottom is a lot safer. My preferred way is with heat though. Fun to watch it drop off when it gets hot. Also putting the puller under the bearing before cutting the race off ends up compressing the rollers against that inner lip you see handy man lock his puller on. That way the all press against it and you have a pretty strong set up.

[@stevemcilroy9518]

Nice one, good video. As a rally mechanic , I hit it on edge with a snap on chisel, cracks on second hit, job done. But you did a great job there with the correct tool. So many "know all's" on here, everyone gets by in the end.👍

[@handymanPF]

Thank you, I greatly appreciate that.

[@x-man5056]

Once you are down to the raceway, just heat one side with a propane torch for about 3 minutes and it will slide right off. The raceway being of much less mass than the Pinion Shaft will expend much faster than the Shaft. What you did was dangerous as hell.

[@spgranorthiam123]

I brought the same, slipped a couple of times, thought it wasn't going to work there was bang and the bearing popped of, wouldn't have got the bearing off without it, thanks

[@toddwallace2037]

I have two sets of bearing puller and I'm able to pull the whole bearing off without any damage if I use my OTC puller. My Armstrong puller has a shorter taper so it will damage the bearing if you don't pay attention to it.

[@DrivelineMaster]

You don't need to remove the cage and rollers to pull the bearing with this tool. Just grab the inner race between the gear head and the bearing. Also you risk stripping out the threads on the forcing screw by not lubricating the threads and by using a power tool. Been there, done that. Lesson learned.

never make used bearings set-up bearings. your set up will be way off when the new bearings and races are installed. Using a bearing splitter like the silver part of the puller set he is using could be used under the cage, this will roll the bottom of the cage and basically ruin the bearing. the puller that will not harm pinion bearings or carrier bearings is a bit over 400 us so $20 bearing....$400 puller.....you choose

The puller may be upside down as those two horizontal bolts bend, then the catchment area opens up and could slip off the lip of the inner cage. If turned upside down the bending in the two puller horizontal bolts would. would press under the lip of the inner race. I think I would have used a welder to do that job.

[@thomasbonini7563]

I would suggest NOT cutting the cage off of the bearing. If you are simply replacing the bearing then it may not matter but in many cases, you may need to remove a good bearing to either add or remove shims to properly set the pinion height and in that case, you simply can't cut off the cage unless you intend to use a new bearing with each adjustment until you get it right.

Cut the cage off? What about when you are doing your setup and you have to pull the bearing to add or subtract a shim?

Since it was so tight against the pinion, I seen this as my only option. What I do it buy 2 pinion bearings. Home one so it slides on and off the pinion smoothly but with a slight snug. Then I measure my shims. Once I have that figured out then I remove the dummy bearing and install the good one. Glad it helped. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please like, share, and subscribe

it looks like the end of the pinion is dimpled, so the long "screw" would rest in the dimple. is the washing neccessary? just curious

[@superbestdad]

you are correct but also a point I would make is that two metals rubbing together, one has to loose. The pinion is most likely harder than the cheap looking puller kit so your tool would show signs of wear in seconds. Its an easy choice to throw away a small cheap washer.

Just run a bead of weld around it, after you take the cage and rollers off. Let it cool... turn it over, race drops right off. Much easier!

[@tahcogunworks]

Works better if you flip your bearing holder. Inhave the same exact puller.

[@ItsJustMe-e7h]

For safety place a rag over the bearing in case it shatters and shoots shrapnel.

[@shyamkumar-gy4td]

When bearing is burn out you can cut the bearing

[@handymanPF]

Absolutely. You just have to be careful not to cut into the pinion. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please like share and subscribe.

[@magnum357225]

u are supposed to heat up the bearing before u remove it makes it much easier and u wont break ur tool

[@handymanPF]

Yes, but not everyone might not have access to an acetylene tank. Or if they did they might heat it up to much and damage ( distort or weaken ) the pinion itself. But definitely a good point. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please like share and subscribe.

I don’t know much but I was just waiting for the separator tool to let go and carnage to happen. Kind of like watching one of those videos removing car springs and struts with a cheap spring compressor.
