So all keen and enthusiastic I made a few mods to my bearing separator - essentially just longer spacers and a longer bridge piece and went at it. End result - no movement :bang: Tried all the tricks - warmed the race up, gentle taps when under pressure - nowt, zilch, nothing So I need to find a bigger separator - this one is supposed to do up to a 75 mm bearing inner race but doesn't really have either the beefyness or the spread. |

Received wisdom seems to be to cut the bearing off with a disk cutter and replace - apparently they are notorious for their reluctance to move according to my local agricultural engineer. New bearing on order |

Irritating. Leave the pressure on with penetrating oil applied for a few days, tapping lightly, and guaranteed, it will pop loose ten minutes after you have the new bearing in hand! |

You are probably right Steve - that's life ! Spent a little time today making up a timber cradle to make putting it back on the tractor a little easier - seems to work - I did a trial 'offering up' |

Good thinking! :thumbup: :clap: |
