    Heard these are decent but certainly not premium tools, got any suggestions? Images shared from ffx webby as they have good prices.

  4. Yeah I saw rawlbolts been used on youtube.
     
  5. I’ve a blind bearing puller similar to that it’s always worked ok
    Even on the rgv gear box bearing
     
  6. I have both kits .. the puller isn’t so great . I destroyed the 2nd smallest puller very easily and cannot recommend
    I purchased a cheap screw out kit to get my gearbox bearings out and that’s fine .. I think the slide hammer gives too much force maybe
    The driver kit is great , and is better than using sockets

  7. Bit the bullet & got RS-components to sort me out. I'm putting a GPS tracker into the box...shush'

  12. Well the painful thing I did not share was that I actually needed the other kit also. These manufacturers love making it so you need the larger stuff for jobs. Bit the bullet & got a decent quote from RS components so too finish off my day. I'm chuffed to share these images'

    The SKF TMIP series 30-60 kit dwarfs the other one now.

  15. What do you use if you have a 29mm bearing that needs removing, it’d just be my luck...
     
  16. The 28mm one and gaffer tape!

  17. The other kit is 7-28mm, the front bearing on my enduro is larger. Though now l can help the 4x4 lads out on the farm when they are scrounging tools.
     
  18. Fitting blind bearings, put the bearing in the freezer overnight, wrap it in a cloth. and don’t take it out until you are ready to fit it. Gently heat the aluminium casting, make sure you have all the tools ready for fitting the bearing, a little oil in the bore helps
    Remove the bearing from the freezer and press it in the casing, the cold bearing and warm casing should make the fit easier.
    Fitting bearings on shafts, put in an oven at 120c this will expand the bore enough for a slide fit.
    Don’t be tempted to heat it any hotter.
    I have fitted hundreds of bearings up to 1000mm in the bore and this works every time.

  19. SKF bearing heaters work a treat. Along with hydraulic nuts.

    Handy for setting the correct clearance/preload.
