I plan on using a different bearing
The first question I have is -
WHY?Next, the inner tube or spacer goes from the top casting all the way down to this bearing.
So you're going to have to get rid of that tube. Makes no sense to me. I just don't understand what you're hoping to accomplish.
Knock the thing off any way you can I guess !!
Well, because :
A) It's a better bearing
B) The o.d of the new bearing is the same as the i.d. of the tube so there is no need to get rid of the tube.
C) It's only
$7.49 for a superior, sealed bearing compared to
$80 for that semi plastic piece of crap.
Anyway, I had put the shaft in a 20 ton press with a short section of pipe pressing on the bearing and with considerably more effort than you would have thought necessary, managed to separate the two with no damage.
Thanks for your help.
