outer bearing race removal

[kyexgirl]

carrier bearing went out, no problem. WRONG. the outer race on one side is stuck in there. cant beat it out cause there is no lip to put anything on. cant pull it, again, with it pressed fully in there is no lip on the back side to hook anything on. i would greatly appreciate any advice on how to get that sucker out. its an aftermarket twin row made of billet. can you use a cutting torch without damaging it too bad? just a thought. lol

u can try heating the carrier up. it makes the carrier expand a little and the race might come out with a nice little whack.

This happens on my banshees almost every time i have to change carrier bearings. I use a dremol tool to cut a slice trough the race,then tap a flathead screwdriver between the carrier and the race,and kind of bend it in,works every time,just be sure to only cut the race and not through the carrier

same thing happened to me i welded a peice of steel to the race and beat on it from the other side .:macho

as mentioned. try heating the carrier up real good and then slamming the carrier down on a peice of wood. it should drop right out.

thanks for all the tips. none worked for some reason. ended up cutting it out with a dremel.
