How To Remove a Cutlass Bearing Without Removing the Shaft

[@naturalsailor]

Rented this tool over the weekend, received quickly from Ken. Very easy to assemble and use. Start to finish was 1 3/4 hrs. Even with an old worn out bearing that was stuck. Prefect for the job, saved hiring the marina to do the job. Highly recommend!

Wow! I need to replace the cutlass bearing on my Catalina 36. I’ve looked at dozens cutlass bearing removal videos of weekend mechanics yapping about everything but removing the cut,ass bearing. This is the first one I’ve seen that addresses the issue. THANK YOU!!!

Is weekendRproducts still in business?

Use the same tool to push in the new bearing?

[@aquaholic3]

Do you have a video of putting the new bearing in??

Just finished this on my Hunter 35 Legend renting the tool from these guys. Project went so fast I didn't even have time to crack a beer.

Suits Us Sailing good to see it is still out there and working.

Did a new one go back in easily?

[@SSBN506]

+Andrew Polson Yes back in was not hard at all. Out took a bit of work but still wasn't bad.

Excellent explanation - thank you

[@JohnDoe-wy1yd]

Why not use the new bearing to push out the old one?

[@SSBN506]

John Doe It would destroy the new one I suspect. Takes a lot of pressure to push the old one out. Less to push the new in after the old is out.

[@superformOG]

lol what... take a moment to think about how this is impossible...

[@jennyb5755]

How would you get the new bearing on the shaft to push the old one through!?!?!?

[@glasshalfempty887]

@@jennyb5755 @Superform Without addressing the method for doing so, one *could* push the old strut bearing forward up the shaft and then simply cut it off the shaft using a dremel and cut off wheel. The problem with using the new bearing to press out the old one is that you have to devise a way to accomplish this without damaging the new bearing. That's more likely the impossible part.
