Small Blind bearing puller

[TecateDan]

Wanted to get a Blind bearing puller to pull the water pump bearing out. THe one HF sells is to big. I need on that goes down to like 1/4 inch. Anybody know of a cheap kit I could buy??

Here's a shadetree method that works. A cheap blind hole bearing puller could be made from an off the shelf drop in anchor expanded within your ID and than hooked to a slide hammer.

Pack grease into the cavity and then use a dowel and a hammer. The hydraulic action will pop those suckers right out without having to pry on anything risking breakage.

I had that same thought but I'm pretty sure the grease would just slide right through the bearing.

I tried that before and it didn't work for me I ended up putting the case half on the grill for 20 minutes and they fell out but those bearing are like $30 so if I buy a puller now in the long run I will probably save money

I think the tusk set is your best bet, I think 8mm is what you need

Great!! I just spent 80 bucks on some new tools and now you post this. I haven't need anything like this for awhile but have always wanted one.

yea well the small bearing is like 20 buks and every time I sand blast a case I have ot buy a new one so in the end it will be cheaper. Or at leas that's what I tell my self....lol

I just spot welded a long bolt to the bearing that fit inside the bearing with the mig welder and popped it out. same bearing your talking about on the water pump. you need a new bearing anyway. it worked perfect for me.

ATCJeff told me to put them on the grill and they fall out!!!! Worked like a charm. To be honest I Just like owning tools. I got a case splitter (awesome BTW) clutch tool, pullers bla bla bla. I just like the ease of getting the correct tool and geting a job done. I did everything shady tree as a kid and made it work somehome but now that I can afford some of this stuff I like acquiring it. Hopefully my kids someday don't burry them in the yard like I did to my dad's tools. I'm starting ot realize why he got pissed when I would trash his shop lose his tools and then act oblivious..lol
