      I have bought a couple of different tools from eBay for removing bearings but they were all useless/broken/came with no instructions so I couldn't work out how they actually removed the bearings. Crank shaft bearings usually aren't an issue. It's the silly gearbox bearings that are recessed in a closed hole. Any recommendations tools wise? Thanks.

        You will need a puller. Quite heavy duty I'd imagine.

        I always found, 160 degrees C in the Kitchen oven for about 10 mins and a cheap puller usually does the trick 😄

          The others will all come out using an oven and a tabular drift.

          The more difficult ones you could pay a specialist to do. Would literally only cost a 5er 10er. Can't see it being more than that.

            Yes I ended up giving my 250's cases to my local mechanic whilst he was fitting the new bits to my crankshaft. But with the cases, I imagine if there were any oil seals leftover in them, they would melt in the oven?! That's the only issue and reason I was searching for tools, would be nice not to have to remove all the seals to replace one bad bearing.

              You mean an internal combustion engine, where the exhaust gases get to well over 1000 degrees and I shudder to think what the rest gets up to, would start to melt in the oven. Some seals I don't replace but they didn't melt.

                  Anyone got a link to a puller they know works for the DT bearings? I'll definitly give the 160 in the oven a go so cheers for that tip. Alos heard that freezing the bearings over night helps with refitting the new fellas.
