Spigot bearing help
Hi all.

As the title suggests. I'm losing the will to live with the spigot bearing. I can not budge it.
Any suggestions on how one might move it.

Cheers Jack

'Warm' the end of the crank with a blow torch, I say warm because you don't want the thing glowing red hot.

I assume you have a blind bearing puller?

Some good tips here;

Drill a hole in it, there is a void between it and the crankshaft,
Either use a slide hammer to pull it out,
Or you can drill a hole to accept a grease nipple and force it out with grease.


I did one a while ago, and did post my findings, they are an absolute Censored to remove!

There’s a special tool for removing them around £60. You have to shatter the center and then insert the puller.
