bikerpet Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 I'm struggling to get the input shaft support bearing out on my '07 250 Pro. It's in the blind housing under the breather nipple. Tried a collet and slide hammer - no go. Machined up a shaft with spigot to plug the breather hole, filled behind bearing with grease and drove in the shaft to hydraulically force it out - just blew out the seals. I'm now waiting for some high strength loctite bearing mount to cure on the collet before having another go, this time with some more heat. Anyone have a good solution to this one? I figure I just haven't sworn at it enough yet - a few more curses and I'm sure it'll just pop out easily Or maybe I'm just not applying enough heat?

sirdabalot Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Heat usually does it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerorev3rev4 Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Weld a bolt head in it then put a socket over thread and extract it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerpet Posted October 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Teamwork prevailed. I used Loctite 620 high strength/temp bearing mount to fix my home-made collet extractor into the bearing. I then put a plate across the top of the case with the thread of the extractor through it. Plenty of heat then tighten a nut down onto the plate and out it came. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
