113H bearing seal

[Spaff]

Is there a trick to getting the shield out to get at the bearing. I've tried various screwdrivers. nails and staring at it endlessly? Understand that I am mechanically inept, semi-dyslexic and maybe suffering early stage Alzheimer's; really frustrated.

Are you trying to remove the ball bearing retaining ring from the ball bearing cup to get at the ball bearing or the ball bearing shield itself?

[Spaff]

The retaining ring from the cup.

Get yourself these picks or something similar to them:

Place the hook-shaped pick just under the retaining ring and tilt towards you, it should pop right out.

Thanks. All about getting leverage in the right place I guess. Time to visit a friend who works in a dental office.

Yes it is!
I'm going to recommend that purchase the 2-piece set that I'm showing, they're bulkier than dental picks, here is where I got them from:http://www.harborfreight.com/2-piece-o-ring-hook-scribe-set-42159.html
The shape of the hook will not domage the bearing when prying. Also, if you cut about 1/4" off the angled pick above and do a little filing with the dremel, you could use it to remove bearings that won't budge. It doesn't always work though, sometimes nothing will help.

Thank you again sir, I will order them.
