Does anyone have any hints, techniques, good tools for removing bearings with
the least amount of fuss and risk of damage to the bearing or the part? >>
There are probably factory jigs to set things up prior to bearing install but
aren't really needed for the occasional repair. A good method is to purchase
a extra set of bearing cones* and hone out the inside diameter for a slip fit
over the shaft. Good bearings are typically held to consistant dimensions so
using setup set for shim selection then installing the good press fit
bearings won't be a problem.
* Tapered roller bearing sets are described as Cone= the part that has the
rollers and cage. This part presses/slides on to a shaft.
Cup= the part that looks like a cup sometimes called a outer bearing race.
This is the part that is held by a machined casting.
Look in a business to business phone book under bearings. If you have a
decent sized order ~ $30 ,know the bearing # and brand of your old parts they
usually sell to the public. Also try Mcmaster Carr or ( WW ) Grainger, these
are industrial supply houses that have good bearing selections and great
catalogs online.
