mini bearing pullers

Hi all,
What's a good puller for removing stuck bearings out of stainless Newell bearing cups?

Go to the Alan Tani home page and do a search for bearing puller. There is a bunch of them. Sometimes you don't need more than a piece of wire with a small bend at the end. Be careful about pulling too hard on the inner race because you can warp the cage and ruin the bearing.

Also, look for a you tube video about removing a stuck bearing with toilet paper.

Does the paper trick work on a bearing stuck in the cam follower?

You should be able to push it out from the other side.

Where did you find one of those. I have a bunch of bearing cups with stuck bearings. Thanks

You can send them to me. Ill pull them out and send them back.

There is also the old trick of cutting a slot in the cap and through the bearing to be able to use a screw driver to crank the bearing out. Be careful with the cup and you can reuse.

It seems like the ones in accurate side plates have a little punched mark in them like they did it so the bearing wouldn't fall out. I can get most of them out of Newell plates pretty easy but not in the old accurates

Looks good to me so I just bought one.

Curious design though. The jaws are forced to expand remotely by pressure within the central chamber from a bearing ball.

A little different to the Reelspeed pullers but more adaptable within it's size range and can extend your puller range up to 8+mm.

I was actually talking to Chris (Rothmar) about getting him to fabricate a larger one so just what I was looking for.

Hope it performs well.

Thanks Wolli.

The Gedore puller arrived today.

I adapted the hammer from the Reel Speed puller which was a convenient neat fit.

You can see how the spread is actuated by a plunger far back in the jaws.

This design is not as secure a fit as the Reel Speed puller but hopefully it will be strong enough.

Now to wait for a suitable candidate to give it a maiden test drive
