Re: Pilot Bearing

[John Slade <edalsj@igs.net>]

Hi Tom,

The easiest way is as follows:-

Pack the hole full of grease, including the volume in behind the
bearing. 
Get a solid, parallel sided punch which just fits into the hole in the
bearing, position it just into the bearing, and thump its exposed end
with a hammer.

The bearing will be forced out by the hydraulic pressure created in the grease.

I've used this technique many times.

Cheers
