blind bearing puller?
« on: April 09, 2014, 07:42:37 pm »
Will this work for removing all the bearings out of a Zilla bottom end? The one I have at work did most but is too big for the smaller bearings.

Another option is to put the case in a oven and heat it up till water barely sizzles when splashed on the alum, pull the cases out, flip it over and watch the bearings fall out with zero effort.

I would love to toss it in the oven but the only ovens I have access to are used for cooking food. Plus I could use the puller for other jobs. I just need to know if the supplied part with the puller kit will work with the smallest bearings in the Zilla cases.

If I remember right there is only 2 or 3 blind holes in the cases for the tranny shafts and I don't remember those bearing IDs being as small as a quarter inch so I think this kit will work.

Harbor Freight also sells a kit if you have HF on the your island (I know it's hard to get stuff there).

A heat gun or hair dryer on high will also help to get the bearings out when your pulling them but the hair dryer takes a little longer.


And Jason at Midwest Honda can get you hooked up with the OEM bearings at good prices.

Household oven inside my house is what I always use.  If the cases are clean no need to worry about anything.  Goodluck either way.

Thanks for the input guys. I hate buying crap tools but we had a HF here I would have a lot more crap lol! I can put that puller to good use. I rebuild reduction boxes and such at work. Just want to make sure this puller fits my personal application first.

Shipping to me is not so bad. Especially if I'm paying for it, I don't see why people make such a big deal of it. That seller on eBay is the only one of 4 that I contacted that would be willing to ship to me.
