Hi Ed,
I took a rod long enough to fit through the laygear, turned it to fit in
the small space inside the TRF long, press in, brgs (highly recommended). I
drilled and tapped the working end, then cut a slot (or X)part way along
it. A socket head cap screw head fastener, with the underside of the head
beveled to match a bevel in the tool.
For the first brg, insert from opposite end till it is in the space inside
brg. tighten fastener to spread tool, and apply copper hammer to other end
of tool.
TR Regards,
Hardy

Subject: [TR] needle bearing extractor
Message-ID:
List,

Has anyone found a tool that extracts the TR4-TR6 laygear bearings
successfully? Horrible Freight offers one, but I'm wondering if there is
room
behind the bearing for it to get a grip.

I've been using a Dremel to grind out the old bearing shells, but it's
tedious
work. I'd like to find a way to pluck them out quickly.
