New bearings arrived this morning, so I was happy (wrong - prepared!) to cut off the old one. Went ok - First I gripped the cage with Molegrips to stop it rotating and cut it with a 1 mm abrasive disk Then I prised off the cage and rollers - sure those rollers will find a use somewhere :clap: Then I carefully cut a channel in the inner raceway. As I did this there was a satifying 'crack' as the raceway cracked and coud be removed by hand. |
| awemawson:
It was obvious that there had been a bit of fretting between the shaft and inner raceway as can be seen on the picture - this was probably why it wouldn't pull off |
| awemawson:
I cleaned it up gently with some 220 grit wet and dry paper but won't do much more before I see how the Speedi Repair Sleeve and the bearing fit. I'll probably put a bit of low strength Loctite bearing retainer on it at assembly time. I just nicked the shaft with the grinder - but I'm not worried by that as it's very light and the bearing will seat perfectly ok over it. Sleeve delivery promised for tomorrow |

Taper roller inners. Run round them with a welder turned up high, big wide bead, smack with BFH and they come loose. Anyway Mawson stop pissing about you could have got away with two wellie tops split diagonal, loaded up with silicone and two big jubilee clips |
