how I remove a bearing

Jun 10, 2017 3 Replies

I have managed to rescue 3 electrical tools when bearings failed. Probably teaching you lot how to suck eggs but this is how I get the bearing out, just in case it is useful for someone.



I use a large socket on the end that the bearing will come out so that it can fit inside the socket, I then get a slightly smaller socket at the other end, this is used to push the bearing out. I then line up and place in a vice and slowly push the bearing out by tightening the vice.

And if the combined length of it all is wider than your vice will open simply use a long bolt of piece of threaded rod through the sockets. This method works well for void bushes as well perhaps substituting the large socket for a piece of tube.
