LiftdT4R Posted November 14, 2007 Report Posted November 14, 2007 Hey, what's up? I bought this bearing puller set http://www.pitposse.com/whbereset.html from Pit Posse a while back, works really well, but it doesnt have a puller for the rear carrier bearings. I'm not sure what size it is, probably 35 or 40mm, but I was wondering if anyone saw them anywhere. Thanks :beer: Quote
NYUK Posted November 14, 2007 Report Posted November 14, 2007 do what real men do with fewer tools available. KNOCK THEM BITCHES OUT WITH A PUNCH!. Quote
LiftdT4R Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Posted November 14, 2007 Hahaha, normally I would, but the new carrier I got is twin row, and they don't seem to budge... Anyone?? Quote
PhilMoore Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 Hahaha, normally I would, but the new carrier I got is twin row, and they don't seem to budge... Anyone?? Try a little heat on the outside of the carrier then tap on it. If you don't want to flame the carrier, you could try a heat gun. Quote
FireHead Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 Hahaha, normally I would, but the new carrier I got is twin row, and they don't seem to budge... Anyone?? For those bearing, they are big enough to get a piece of flat bar behind it, then you can whack the flat bar from the other side and the bearing should pop right out. :geek: Quote
LiftdT4R Posted November 17, 2007 Author Report Posted November 17, 2007 Cool sounds good. I did them once with a set of punches that I had, but it was a bitch and half since there are 2 bearings on either side, it was twice as hard as doing a stocker. I'll try the flat bar next time, if anyone knows where I can get one of those bearing punches/pullers though, I'd sure appreciate it, because the ones I have now for the front hubs work like a breeze.

Snap On and MAC both have a reasonable set of ID bearing and seal pullers. :thumbsup: Quote
Stellar Performance Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 Before I invested into my tools, I used to use a slide hammer to pull them out. Its basically a Dent puller for body working, but you attach different size washers depending on the size of the bearing. It actually works very well. You can pick one up cheap at most auto parts stores or really cheap at Harbor Freight. Now I use a air hammer with a long reach head.......as long as I do not plan on reusing the bearing......lol Quote
