szrdave Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I need to change the rear wheel bearings on the Falco, and they look like a sod to do. There are a couple of small holes in the end of the bearing spacer, but hardly enough to get a drift into. I've seen a bearing removal tool where a collet is placed inside the bearing, and a driver with a wedge shaped end is used to expand the collet and drive the bearing out from the inside. Has anyone used these before? And any recommendations on where to get a set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bezzer Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Machine Mart do "blind" and other types of Bearing Pullers (Drivers put the bearing in not out) but they aren't cheap. http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/search/filter/bearing+puller/type/any/page/1 '> http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/search/filter/bearing+puller/type/any/page/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szrdave Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Yeah, I've seen the pullers but they all need something to grip on to, which I haven't got. The type I think I need you wallop the bearing out from the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug_R1 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 A Blind bearing puller kit will do the job. http://www.machinema...&TC=SRC-bearing As the owner of a Machine Mart blind bearing puller I can tell you that the puller will probably not work on a wheel bearing. The different sizes don't have much overlap, and I've found that more often than not there isn't one that fits correctly. On wheel bearings the lip on the puller tends to pull off before the bearing moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootall Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I have had success in the past using a big rawl bolt. A bodge i know, but it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Rawlbolt, every time. Bear in mind you only need to knock in 2 or 3 mm until you can get a drift in there, the space will usually have a bit room to wobble to the side once it's loose.

gurninman Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I always use a rawlbolt - cheap and effective You can give it a proper twatting instead of half-heartedly tapping with a drift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szrdave Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 A big rawl bolt it is then. That's just saved me a couple of quid!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
