need new bearings

[Thun]

Would the hot tip of a soldering iron heat the race up enough to pry it out?

[Keta]

The race needs to be chilled so it shrinks.

The race needs to be chilled so it shrinks.

yep,, freeze the offending bearing race, and if possible, heat the sideplate,,,

and then,,,,,,

with the bearing under some pressure with a highly leveraged prying device,, smite the sideplate mightily with a nylon hammer,,
with your third hand of course!

I will go to Clas ohlson today than! thanks pål. Yes I have 4 reels from Irvin. All very well used!

Good luck! You already have the bearing packer and grease gun, right?

[hafnor]

I have the bearing packer and greasegun but I seldom use it. Somehow I like putting grease on the thumb and work it in... haha! Avet answered my mail and want 5$ each bearing and 22$ shipping to Norway which is stupid as a letter will run no more than 5$... But I guess this is my best option.

[Keta]

I just sent 7 oz to England for $12.00.  You should have the bearing mailed to one of us and we can repack it like I do for my dogs and it will save you some $$.

Pm sent Keta!

[Bryan Young]

 maybe Lee can pack those bearings with marine grease before he sends them.

I'll order them on Tuesday morning and get them on the was asap.
