Removing bearing seat

[mick]

I need to get the outer bearing ring out of the end of this tube without damaging the coating on the tube
I can't get in with a punch 😳 a hacksaw won't touch it 😩 I am thinking Dremel unless anyone has any ideas👍
It's off my caravan motor mover

Mick, not clear from the photos, can we get it into my press & push it out from the opposite end?


.....sh1t happens.......

[mick]

No the tube is seated out and the outer bearing is flush with tube

[Pikey Dave]

How about an internal bearing puller, bring it over one day next week & we'll have a go.

Can try Dave but there is no lip to grip

What's the tube coated with mick? Can you heat it up in the oven

Tack weld a piece of steel with a hole in it across the bearing & use a bolt to pull it out through a big socket or something similar on the end of the shaft

It's some sort of coating to grip the tyre quite brittle as well

[doggypaddle]

have you got a welder?
A good bead of weld around the inside of the race when cooled will make it shrink and it will probably drop out.
I do this on wheel bearing outer races all the time, much less effort than the alternatives. especially on big double rollers.

[uncle al]

either run a short electric or mig weld around the bearing race and it will damn near drop out. Dont burn your fingers when you pick it up.

[beamishken]

I assumed you didn't want it too hot to save the coating hence the method I suggested

[mick]

Thanks chaps some good ideas will pay a visit to PD 1 St then go from there

Have you tried spray freeze? (Or canned air with the can turned upside-down.) Freeze the inner part to shrink it.
