    I see. I thought we were pressing it out of the casting. I didn't realize that it is press fitted to the shaft.

This can put little dents in the track or "race" which then interfere with the function of the bearing. Smooth road vs. bumpy road, one is better for your car, one isn't....

    I hope that makes sense! <smile>

    Just give me my Crescent Hammer and Screw Chisel ....and some masking tape and I can fix anything...

    If you are removing the bearings to replace them that is one thing and somewhat destructive means can be used like the sliding sledge hammer.... If you are re using or inserting bearings than the Press is the best option.... I am suggesting the Sliding Sledge for not using them again....

    Good point! It depends on which race is press-fit that you are trying to remove. I made an assumption based on the picture of the bottom bearing still on the shaft. In any situation when trying to remove a bearing, you should be sure to put the pressure on the race that is locked in, or on.

    Is there anybody out there who has tried the puller and can report on how it works? Is this forum all talk and no action? Come on, someone must have an old machine or truck with bad bearings which needs the spindle pulled.

    I replaced the spindle bearing without any kind of puller. I just removed the truck from the machine ,removed the retaining clip on top of the shaft, and tapped the shaft out with a dowel rod and hammer. It came out a lot easier than expected.

    I just bought a second hand B machine and finally got a chance to try my spindle puller on a virgin spindle. It worked like a charm and that spindle was tight. The top bearing seems undamaged. It would not have survived the pounding that it would have taken to punch this spindle out. Now that the spindle is out, the QC can be removed from the spindle using a vise and a wrench. I am replacing the spindle with an ER spindle and care not about the QC and old spindle. I think, however, that this is a safer and better method of removing an old QC than the earlier heat method. For those of you who are replacing a lock tited QC or installing the Rock chuck, I recommend making this simple puller. It is also useful if you want to change the spindle bearings!

    Anyway, this was an old post of mine and I just wanted to report that the thing really does work!
