Clutch arm bearings

(1/2) > >>

GreenMachine:
Does any one have any suggestions on how to get the clutch arm bearings out of the case. I heated the case up to 350 and all the other bearings came out ok, but I cannot get the clutch arm bearings out. I really wouldn't be worried about them 'cept wheb I was tearing every thing apart I lost some needles out of the bearings.

Thanks for any help,
Jody

The top one you should be able to knock out with a hook.  The bottom one is more difficult.  I changed mine by drilling a hole in the bottom of the tube and then took a punch to knock it out the top.  Closed the hole with JB Weld.  People will tell you that there is a puller that will grab it but I couldn't find one.  Finding one small enough for the bearing was tough but finding one long enough and small enough appears impossible.  However, it could be made.

Rick:
This is a tough one.  I have never had to replace these bearings, but it seems that Kawdude may have the answer with the drill method.  Let us know how you finally get this little bearing out.

kawdude:
Before I did mine, I posed the question to my dealer.  They didn't know...but suggested a puller.  I just never found one that was small and long.

Folke:
You have to us 3 things, Bolt,washer and nut.
