Hi Gerald
I just thought, this may not be detrimental to re assembling, you could
possibly carefully lap this out if it is not too deep, depends if your time
is cheaper than the bits! The main thing is making sure you keep the spacer
parallel, otherwise it could affect the stability of the bearing and / or
the adjustment. I took six to bits, had to offer some of them to a 50 ton
press as the Churchill tool would not shift them, one was cross drilled and
the shaft collapsed under the puller, another the wheel studs stripped, I
ended up sacrificing 3 wheel flanges to the press, but then it did reach
well over 25 tons, (28ish) before each of these went bang! I am told that
the Churchill puller can make 10 tons, maybe 15 with a bar on the T handle!
No wonder I couldn't get them apart! Once in there 3 of the spacers were
grooved where the bearing sits and 4 had wear where the seal runs, 1 good
one and one the seal wear was only slight and polished out!
