You're welcome! The repair job I was doing for the customer was on a New Holland T99 combine. It was completely full of straw as the blower belt broke and the shaker bearings went out. (Probably the bearings going out caused the belt to break.) So the customer was very nervous about me using anything that might start it on fire, to say the least!

My uncle was a welder and fabricator in Florida for 20 plus years till the farmers and others he worked for were bought out for land development. I guess what always amazes me was how much one group of people could wear out, wreck, and destroy equipment and another group of people could repair, rebuild, and make things almost bullet proof so others could go out and do it again. Love your channel, love your videos, give Dakota a scratch and a pat for me..

I've dealt with a great many stuck bearings and have never thought to dismantle them. As a last resort, we've always cut them, either with a torch or metabo.

We managed to get it, but I wonder if we could have utilized your method. I will remember this tip. Thank you for sharing.

@aryanzijlstra66494 жыл бұрын
In my case the center ring of a bearing is rusted to the axis of a electric motor. There is no space for a puller and using an angle grinder will damage the electric contact ring. I've tried heating the ring so it expands, but so far no results... And sadly your trick doesn't apply to my case...

I'm dealing with a similar situation, but I have a roller bearing that is recessed almost an inch into the case, and 1) the shaft can only come out one end because the bearing at the other end sits in a recess cast into the case, and 2) there is no room inside the case to drive the bearing out from behind. Additionally there is a ring gear on the shaft which engages a gear on a shaft at the bottom of the case, and this makes it impossible to drive the whole assembly out the open end. Short of cutting the shaft in two, I've run out of ideas. Trying to drill through the race sounds like a formidable project.
@peterduxbury92711 ай бұрын
These days, you can easily use a high-speed (28,000 rpm) Dremel, with diamond burr installed. I am about to do this, because this bearing is inside a car Steering Wheel (top). It will take a while, but (once the Inner & Outer Race has been cut), the old Bearing will simply prise upwards - and out. It isn't possible to remove the whole (splined) Steering Shaft, and the shaft also passes through this bearing. Cannot use heat in this location. New (replacement) bearing is cheap, and easy to replace - once the old one has been cut and removed. Hope that this may help someone in a similar situation.
