Bearing removal
How do you get the bearing out of the case that you can not drive throught from the other side. Figured since the cases are split, might as well as replace all the bearings and the bushing. Also, what would you recommend from cleaning the inside of the cases? BTW, not only were my crank seals toast, but the main bearing on the clutch side was so bad that it had started to blue from the heat.

Thanks, just what I feel like doing, spending another $100 on a tool I'll use once.

Re: Bearing removal
There are some other ideas, but take a look at response #5 in this thread: http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/ge ... es-188905/
I used plumbers putty to get the blind transmission bearing out of my case.

Re: Bearing removal
Same concept as what I posted above. Bread would have to be one of the last things I would have ever thought to have used. I have heard of people using wet paper towels though.

yes, it will work. a slide hammer is a very cheap thing to make though, and most welders will rig you one up, and weld the cross piece to your stuborn race for $40 or so.
some of the 30" bearings i used to machine / grind bores for had oil grooves ground into their journals. one grease nipple + a mighty badass grease gun = the outer race came out with ease. it's really quite amazing to watch a 300 lb bearing race just lift out of a journal.

Just thought of it, I might try AutoZone for their tool loan, they have a blind bearing puller.

Re: Bearing removal
Yea I would of never of thought of that. Seems to work really well too and no damage to case.
If you cant fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.

Re: Bearing removal
The problem with that is there are not any sealed bearings in a transmission. I bet the bread will just push out through the bearing.

Re: Bearing removal
I use this approach on this bearing. But I will stick with plumbers putty, much easier to clean-up.royadams wrote:The problem with that is there are not any sealed bearings in a transmission. I bet the bread will just push out through the bearing.

OK, so just for reference, the puller set fom AutoZone was to large for the KIPS governor bearing and the water pump bearing. Used wet paper towel and a couple of different bolts. Took all of five minutes to get both out. The needle bearing, as shown above in Tedh98's post, I was able to use the puller and heat gun to get it out. Just heat the case, three whacks with the slide hammer and out it came. BTW, clean up of the paper towel was easy, it was so packed together, it came out in one solid lump.
