PaRtZ Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 OK I have my new bearings and they are the right size but when I put them in, I found they didn't go in. To my horror the OUTER part of the bearing (which contacts the driver, not the axle) was still stuck inside while the other bit (bearings, and inner part) had all fallen away. Heres a diagram to help hopefully Any ideas how to get the outer bit out? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_Porter Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 you wanna rub some jiz around the stuck bit to lub it up, that will make it loose enough to use your willy as a sort of crow bar to crank it out... good luck...

AdamR28 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Screwdriver and a mallet* *If you havent got any proper tools anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQuiT-man Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 (edited) Hmmm, technical advice from the proffessionals at both Selectbikes and Tartybikes. Id go for the sledge hammer and screwdriver, and smack it CAREFULLY, with the combined useage of the odd slither of crusty jizz lube. Hope it helps, Regards, Scott Edited November 10, 2005 by SQuiT-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron_trials _247 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 if this doesnt work heat up the outer part (where the old bearing is stuck in and then hit it with a hammer (Y) DAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I had exactly the same problem when i got one second hand, except all the outer bearings were in there (Y) . Was easy, just used a screwdriver and hammer, no problem. Just tap it carefull all round the side, with the driver sat on top of a vice, so that the bearing outer can go through the inside of the vice, if you see what i mean.

Olly C Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Yea same thing happened to me, except I pulled the insides out of all 4 of my bearings so I had 4 stuck outer shells in there (Y) I levered them all out with a screwdriver. If I remeber correctly though theres a piece of metal inside the middle so you cant knock them all the way through, you have to pull two out of one side and two out of the other.

nb88 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Yea same thing happened to me, except I pulled the insides out of all 4 of my bearings so I had 4 stuck outer shells in there (N) I levered them all out with a screwdriver. If I remeber correctly though theres a piece of metal inside the middle so you cant knock them all the way through, you have to pull two out of one side and two out of the other. Yep :lol: i remember spending about 20 minutes trying to knock them all out at once...to find theres a lip on the inside (Y) . As hes onloy removing 1 bearing he doesnt need to worry anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
