robert0762 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Ive got a used swinger that the previous owner somehow has the bearings 4 inches inside the tube. Looking for some ideas on how to get them out Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Ha. I bet he drove them down trying to get them out or something. They're hard enough as it is to get out when they're on the outside. Find a tube the same size as the inside and drive them on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2004LEBanshee Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Wow. Maybe carefull with a sawsal. Since its past where is should be it shouldnt matter if you nick the tube. Or get a long tiny flat head screwdriver and a hammer. Just bust it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleeper06 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I have some nice blind bearing tools with slide hammer attachments that work killer 90% survival rate on bearings if they are still good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurnsideBanshee Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 What is this press you guys are saying to use to remove the bearing? I dont have one but i need to remove the same stuck bearing it sounds like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullThrottle_06' Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 What is this press you guys are saying to use to remove the bearing? I dont have one but i need to remove the same stuck bearing it sounds like. They are talking about a regular, everyday shop press. Nothing fancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

registered user Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) dude just go to ace hardware and get some threaded rod and 2 washers. put it through the swingarm with a socket of appropriate size on each end and blam youll have em out in less than 5min. put new ones in the same way. should be video on youtube showing how if you dont understand Edited March 1, 2014 by registered user Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
registered user Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 this shows the basic procedure. although i dont agree with the first part where he says to pound out the old bearings. its just as fast and easy to put the rod through and pull the old ones out then you dont have to bang the hell out of everything.
