Re: Bearing removal from axle housing
Ok, I've used a Dremel tool to cut slots through the race. Stuff a rag in the axle tube to keep the grindings out of the differential. It's not fast, but works great! Don't forget to remove the rag when you're done!!!

Re: Bearing removal from axle housing
If you have a failed bearing and have been cutting on it, you'll want to flush out the rear end. If I recall, I inserted a piece of 1/2" threaded rod into the wheel side of the axle and added a washer and nut from the differential side, which I used to pull the bearing out, like a slide hammer. I may have been able to fit a socket in front of the washer and nut, but don't remember.

Re: Bearing removal from axle housing
You can use a wire feed welder to put about 1 inch of bead on the race. When it cools it will actually be smaller than before you heated it and will come out pretty easy.

Re: Bearing removal from axle housing
I never tried that trick with a mig,I've done it with a stick welder dozens of times,The stick-welder doesn't add material it melts it,so it will shrink.If the Mig works...BONUS!!!!

Re: Bearing removal from axle housing
It took some doing with the slidehammer but I got it done..
I think it had loc-tight on it for Pete's sake.. Thanks for all the replies. I plan on going a few upgrades during winter, so I'm sure I'll have a few more questions. |

Re: Bearing removal from axle housing
If you put a long enough bead with the mig, it'll shrink too. That's a good tip, never even though about that.

Re: Bearing removal from axle housing
If you ever suspect Loc-tite in the future on a part,give it a quick shot of heat,that will break the Loc-Tite.Especially if its' Red (Semi-Permanent),or Green (Bearing-Set or aka.."Weld In A Bottle").This goes for anything,cars,atv,etc...

Re: Bearing removal from axle housing
The red and green have different temperatures for releasing, so look it up when in doubt.
