Bearing removal
1. Hold the shafts (24 and 25) in a vice using soft jaws to
protect the areas where the seals will be located.
2. Remove the bearing nuts (30) with a ‘sharp tap’ on a ‘C’
spanner. The nuts may be tight all the way off as they are
fitted with thread locking adhesive.
3. Mount the shaft vertically in a press with a tool positively
located against the bearing inner as shown and apply
pressure to the top of the shaft so that the shaft moves
through the bearings (26 and 31).
4. Remove each bearing set (inner and outer). Good
engineering practice suggests that if bearings are removed
from the shafts for any reason they should be renewed.
Clean and examine all components for wear or damage.
Renew where necessary.
