Removing a bearing race

[Zullock Holmes]

on an xj 44. how the fuck do i get this god damn thing out???

[Ktmracer419]

if ya cant pull it out. you cut it out

[crosbike]

you cut it off.

[Ktmracer419]

the first person who quotes me and says "thats what she said" gets smacked in the face with a fish

[Zullock Holmes]

that sounds like a lot of fun..... i'm guessing drill it then hit it with a chisel? crack it and pull it out?? cause i deff can't get a grinder to that thing.

[Ktmracer419]

dremel tool

[crosbike]

Cut off the bearing retainer and then cut the piece pressed onto the shaft. I would use an angle grinder and cut it at a 45 and then smack it with a hammer and chisel.

But what do i know i use a winch.

[Zullock Holmes]

is that race really worth an hour of my life and 18 dremel cut off heads???

[crosbike]

wait. are you talking about the bearing on the shaft or in the axle tube?

chances are if i had the financial ability to have a cool bumper and fancy winch i would have one. but until then i need to make them seem not soo cool so i'm not incredulously jealous.....

the race in the axle tube. i already pressed the bearing off the shaft.

[Ktmracer419]

one reinforced cutting wheel does the trick

cut in 2 places and it practically falls out

[Zullock Holmes]

well then i'll probably go get a good one tommorrow.... hoping that my new bearing comes sometime this week

i was confizzled. u could pull my race out when i changed mine. But i was told and will extend the same advice that if it doesn't look too worn and its not different colors because of excessive heat i would run it.

oh and i built my bumpa kracka

[Zullock Holmes]

well its in good condition i figured i'd just change it cause the new bearing comes with one. but knowing that i might not even touch it.

it was really only the seal that was bad, but i figured while its out, put a new bearing on it.
