Removing An Auto Spiggot Bearing From The Crank, How?

[Rolls]

This is the bearing I'm talking about, the one in the picture is a manual one which is smaller, the auto one is a lot larger. I'm swapping a neo 25 from an auto car into my manual 32 so need to change the bearing. Got the manual one out fine with a slide hammer, but the slide hammer doesn't fit in the auto one. Tried the dynabolt trick on the auto one but it wasn't really big enough and didn't grip, just ripped lots of grooves in it, tried using a hammer and a chisel to just smash it out, also no luck with that.

Is there any special tool or trick people use for removing this? I has me stumped, I'm going to try a bigger dyna bolt from a specialist shop, 16mm is the biggest any of the hardware stores sell.

pack it full of grease, blutak, [playdoh or something like that..

cut the end of a wooden broom handle make it fit in the hole then smack it silly should pop it out..

lol thats pretty much the trick.

Fill full of grease and find a socket pretty close to the right size with an extension on it and flog it till it pops out at you!

Ive never tried the broom handle. Sounds good though.

Gave it 30 minutes of non stop love with a chisel and hammer, finally came out.

easiest way is to cut a slot in it with an air saw or hacksaw blade and then hit it once and it falls out

slam bread inside ... you might get a suprise

I have never got the grease too work... Every time I have had to grind the thing out with a dremel....

use a slide hammer, all panel beaters have one!

had one that fit the manual bearing, but the big fitting was too big and the small fitting was too small on the auto one, was so easy to use when it fit, 30 seconds and it came out first go.

if you can find a bolt the right size, cut the threaded part off and belt the machined section in with some grease in there. i've had one before that even that didnt work so ended up welding a chain to it and ripping it out

I hate this job

rye or multigrain?

Rye is more spongy

I use the open end side of a 9/16 spanner....it shape allows it to lock in just right and act as a lever....,soak it with some wd40 and tap the other end with a hammer going around evenly...takes a little while but works every time.

[Rolls]

that sounds like a top idea, should have tried it.

[Don Dada]

Guess you got thru ?..

Next time then

cant go wrong with a bearing pullet set comes with a 1m slide hammer and multiple attachments works a treat for every possible scenario !

[toffy]

i've welded a metal pipe to one ..... but i'd never admit it

[88cameron88]

yep thats what i do, weld a bit of bar to the bush then attach the slid hammer to the bar i welded on. pops straight off then. the heat from the weld helps it.

[Jasonr31]

so what do i do when the f**king dynabolt gets stuck in the back of the crank?
