The ball bearing puller design was a great idea, I'll keep that one filed away. In this case, it would have taken way too much time! Anytime I have a blind race, I lay a couple of weld beads around the ID of the race which shrinks it slightly allowing it to be pulled out by hand (be careful not to 'cock' it in the bore!). It works on any style of race: deep groove ball, tapered, angular contact, etc. I cover the bore in anti-spatter compound to protect it and any other critical surfaces from weld splatter. I've been a CNC machine tech. for close to 20 years and changed out more bearings than I can count. I've had maybe 60% success rate with grease, it either leaks thru the balls or just blows out the center race and balls.

I'm trying to wrap my head around why this works... the ID isn't what's stuck and wouldn't that just cause the inner ring to expand then cool down again? I believe you, I'm just trying to figure it out... EDIT: I'm an idiot... you're talking about after you've removed the inside of the bearing, right?

Hi guys. It seems everyone has missed the simple method. Apply a few blobs of weld to the inside of the bearing. Wait 1 minute, the welds will shrink. As the welds are attached to the bearing, the bearing will also shrink. The bearing will fall out. You can use this method on engine cylinder liners. Ore small line of weld. The liner will fall out. Done it thousands of times.

Well designed and executed. Kudos for using what was at hand to construct it. Grease trick and weld bead well known for ages. Some races too small for the weld bead. The unfortunate part is that one must construct a puller for each size bearing race to be pulled and that is time consuming. Collet type pullers will fit more than one size race and are easily made up on a lathe. Use a cone to expand your puller inside the race and use a bit of heat to aid in removal of all races. Wear a dust mask and eye protection when grinding!

My go to on removing outer races on bearings is to run a bead of weld around the race.once it cools it will shrink the race and sometimes it will literally fall out. Other times u need to gently coax it out. Nice job on the custom tool either way. Fuck spending our hard earned money on tools that we only use occasionally. Save that money for parts!

Tip for the grease trick. If you're having trouble with it leaking through the balls (if the bearing is unsealed) then tear up a bunch of little, tiny bits of paper and mix it with the grease. As others have said welding the outer race out is the way to go. Neat puller design though, I'll have to keep it in mind.

Great idea. But you can apply the same grease method with the outer race, you just need a large diameter piston. Also, when using the grease method, if you give it a sharp blow the first time rather than tap it, the bearing comes out in one hit. And there are special bearing pullers for bearings that have the problem you illustrate. They have two keyed prongs that go inbetween the races (assuming you still have the inner race) and twist to lock. The prongs are like balls with a flats on opposite sides so they can squeeze inbetween the races. Once turned 90 degrees, they lock in. You can also put back some of the balls to keep the keys from moving about. Expensive, but they do exist.
