Crankshaft

Post by irish1 »

Hi, going to rebuild my 73 t500 crank and was wondering what is the best way to remove the outer bearings so I can reuse. Would like to use a bearing splitter if I have the room but would that ruin the oil slingers? Thanks for any help.

Remove O-rings and use bearing puller on O-ring groove.

Thank you both for the reply, I had seen the crank splitter on ozobook and that should work to split the center section. However my concern was pulling on the outside of the bearing (outside mains) and damaging it. Bearings should be pulled from inner race as I'm sure you know and I need to reuse them so won't this damage them?
