5 Maintenance
Step 9
Bearing removal
1. Hold the shafts (24 and 25) in a vice using soft jaws to protect
the areas where the seals will be located.
2. Remove the bearing nuts (30) with a ‘sharp tap’ on a ‘C’
spanner. The nuts may be tight all the way off as they are fitted
with thread locking adhesive.
3. Mount the shaft vertically in a press with a tool positively
located against the bearing inner as shown and apply pressure
to the top of the shaft so that the shaft moves through the
bearings (26 and 31).
4. Remove each bearing set (inner and outer). Good engineering
practice suggests that if bearings are removed from the shafts
for any reason they should be renewed.
Clean and examine all components for wear or damage.
Renew where necessary.
