Great video mate if you don't have a blind bearing puller handy... By the time you order one and wait for it to show up you can just make one.. good information mate
This is amazing. I love watching people make their own tools to do very specific tasks. There's potential to save a lot of money with this mindset. I can just imagine how much this specialty off the shelf tool would cost.
Dony, neat idea. Two things- 1. You are using a mild steel bolt. MS cannot be hardened, you have to use Medium Carbon Steel (aka Tool Steel) . 2 I use an alternate method. Pack the whole bearing with grease. Find/make a shaft to fit the i/d. Place it over the hole and whack it with a hammer. The bearing usually pops out due to hydraulic pressure. Hope this helps. Most clutch flywheel bearings are removed like this. Hope this helps. Happy NY
Not be a negativer, but I'm not seeing how that could work unless you had a bearing seal on the underside to keep the grease from spraying up between the balls. This one did not.
You raise a good point. However, I find with small bearings like this, the sudden application of hydraulic pressure, via the packed grease, is sufficient to move the bearing most of the time
Nice. Have you ever tried filling the hole and space under the bearing with grease and placing a wooden dowel or solid metal rod almost the same diameter as the center hole and striking it with a hammer to hydraulically push out the bearing? I have seen that work.
@@donyboy73 It's important to find a rod that fits in the hole as tightly as possible otherwise the grease will just squirt through the gap between rod and bearing.
On some of those bearings on heavy equiptment we would freeze the bearing so it would slide right into its 'hole'...somewhat bigger bearings mind you, but same concept. Nice home build too...thanks for sharing.
Great idea, especially hardened and quenched the end of the bolts. I can do everything but the welding. Good thing my buddy just got a mig to help me out if I come across this situation. Well done.
You might want to heat up the area around the bearing and smack the block with a rawhide or plastic mallet. Many times the bearing will come right out.
Beyond brilliant, and I note how you simply use hardwood to seat the new one. I'm curious, what would Cub Cadet suggest as a service procedure for this?
Nice work, but I found myself wondering if there is a tool you can buy off the shelf to do the same job. My brother is good at making things like this. Thanks for the video! I appreciate your efforts and inspiration.
Thanks so much I wonder if those bolts could get heated enough with a simple propane torch? You really surprised me today but most likely because of lack of snow you may have a little more time on your hands? Len from MB
That would come in handy when changing the clutch in my car to remove the pilot bearing from the crankshaft although I might just use the plasticine trick that we used to remove needle bearings from blind holes in the old Kango (now DeWalt) jackhammers when we were repairing power tools & when I was an apprentice, some people even use bread. I normally would heat the alloy housing up with a heat gun or a propane torch then tap the housing onto a block of wood or a wooden bench with the bearing facing downwards so it just falls out of the housing !
I loaned my Snap-on bearing puller to a friend of a friend to pull his crankshaft pulley that he had spent hours messing with. Did not even offer me a six pack of beer. Now I know his phone number and call display is my friend.
Totally understand. I don't lend tools or books for that very reason. I have an extensive inventory of tools and equipment, built up over 50+ years and used to be subjected to people banging on my door wanting to borrow stuff. I was like a tool crib. Just said no, bring it over and I'll fix it for you. They went away in the end.
Very innovative Dony. I own a blind bearing puller set I purchased years ago but once in a while I still encounter a bearing where I do not have the correct size adapter for it. Your design is a little bit more universal in nature allowing any size to be fabricated. Five thumbs up!
I love watching you make something from practically nothing. Did you copy the one you have in the shop or did you get in a bind and needed to build one. This is a very needed tool for those who remove a lot of bearings. I did build a puller from raw iron back in machine shop using Lathe. The one you made is a blind hole bearing puller. Very clever. Thanks.
Put case in oven heat till water sizzles when dropped on it (100C), remove from oven, rap case on bit of 4 x2 and bearing will fall out. To install, new bearing in freezer for 24 hrs, heat case as above, bearing will fall into place. This method has been used for years on Japanese and British motorbikes
That is a great idea to heat up the metal then dip it in the oil to harden it it would be nice if a tool manufacturer would work with you on making this tool to remove those types of bearings
a lovely tool creation for sure and it looks like a good top tool technique for sure Donny mate and cheers from Australia 🐨🐑🦘🌴🇦🇺 or the land down under to your area in Canada 🇨🇦 and i bet it,s snowing over there for sure by now.🌨
What would cause a 1998 MTD snowblower to sound as if it's going to stall when it's going through the snow on 1st gear, or should i scrap it and get a new one? It took me forever to clear some of the snow. Thank you for your help.
Great job...I just wrap the case in alum foil and put it in the oven at 450 ..10 minutes tap the case with wooden hammer and they just drop out..like your too..
Nice job. For what it’s worth I have one of those cheap ABN blind bearing puller sets you find on eBay or Amazon, and for occasional use it seems to work fine. Generally I’ll invest $ in higher end tools, but I use this infrequently.
Hello Donyboy. Chris from Pennsylvania. I have a 2013 Toro snowblower with an 8 horsepower engine Flathead. An exhaust side valve guide it sticks down 16th of inch on the spring side. Is that normal let me know. 🤗
Wow Dony, that was so awesome! I didn't know you also make your own tools!! But for us, the DIY'ers who don't know how to make their own tools, where can you buy a tool such as this one?
Some bearings can be removed with a welder. I had an old timer that was a WW2 vet show me this trick. He used to rebuild electric motors and sometimes the bearing would be stuck in the end bell of the motor. It’s a blind hole so you can’t drive it out from the other side. He would remove the balls and weld a beed all around the bearing race where the balls ride The weld cools and shrinks taking the race with it and the race falls out. I e done this several times and it works perfect every time.

Very cool! Love watching tools being made like this

Fantastic information. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge and tricks. Love the John Deere paint job.

Soggy bread works too
I will try it next time!
@@donyboy73 It's important to find a rod that fits in the hole as tightly as possible otherwise the grease will just squirt through the gap between rod and bearing.
I was going to suggest the same thing. Works great on pilot bearings in the end of auto engine crankshafts.
wet paper towel work good .
You know all the tricks. Great procedure for making a blind hole bearing puller! 👍👍 Another wonderful video, Don. Thanks

Great idea, especially hardened and quenched the end of the bolts. I can do everything but the welding. Good thing my buddy just got a mig to help me out if I come across this situation. Well done.
The simpliest way is hammer, trill bit end, and wet paper in hole. Fit bit make hydraulic force, which push bearing out. Heating help.
Wow, that is some excellent "seat of the pants" tool fabrication. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Absolutely brilliant Don. Now that it’s yellow and green you can charge more for it. 😉
Great how-to video. Why did you use an oil quench and not a water quench?
You might want to heat up the area around the bearing and smack the block with a rawhide or plastic mallet. Many times the bearing will come right out.
Always easy when your name's Donny ! Haaa if I could have your handy abilities, I could do lot more 😊 Sheers from Québec !!!

Very tricky Don.....Necessity is the Mother of invention! Good job!
Very smart great idea thanks for sharing have a great weekend

Once again Big D. you come up with a simple solution to a problem. Thanks again.
Amazing what a person can do with initiative and a few hand tools! Great idea and excellent filming, thanks Don!
End result a JD Puller!!!!!!! hahaha. You amaze me DONY!!!!! That is awesome!!!!!!
Nice job explaining, thanks. What do you do if the bearing is pushed in so deep that no gap exists below it for your tool to catch?
There are a few other methods that I will show if that comes up in my repair shop!
You are very good at Fabricating
Thanks so much I wonder if those bolts could get heated enough with a simple propane torch? You really surprised me today but most likely because of lack of snow you may have a little more time on your hands? Len from MB
Yes, I am somewhat caught up for a change!
Ingenious!!!! Simoly amazing what you can do when you make your own mind up to not be defeated!!! Thank you for sharing your wisdom!!!!😃

Amazing job Dony! Let me take my hat off to you.
I have used commerial ones but I like the simplicity of yours better!
Wow!!! Donyboy73. Una idea fenomenal fantastica. Eres UN erudito.
Gracias amigo!

I didn't have a puller for that bearing so I made this one.
Genius! Happy new year Don!
Thank you for sharing this excellent knowledge I have tried removing one of these in the past and it was not even close to how well this works 😆
a pilot beringp[uller will work as well also bushings can be re,moved thois way but donys way is more clever/...
Pretty ingenious tool. Simple enough to make.
Thank you Dony! You know everything!
not quite!
Nice. An improvised sliding hammer puller.
Put case in oven heat till water sizzles when dropped on it (100C), remove from oven, rap case on bit of 4 x2 and bearing will fall out.
To install, new bearing in freezer for 24 hrs, heat case as above, bearing will fall into place. This method has been used for years on Japanese and British motorbikes

Great question followed by Great advice.
Nice slide hammer action, very effective.
Great job. A pleasure to watch.
Good idea Don. Thanks.
WOW Dony great job!
Very nice . Good little project for my shop 👏 I have the slide hammer just have to make a few less parts. Great video.
Very nice work and great tool
Very ingenious Don, great job
I had to do the same thing today on a set of YZ125 cases
What would cause a 1998 MTD snowblower to sound as if it's going to stall when it's going through the snow on 1st gear, or should i scrap it and get a new one? It took me forever to clear some of the snow. Thank you for your help.
this is great!! i can even use this for replacing bike parts!
Great idea Donny!
Talented. Nicely done
Market this thing Don!!
Very clever. Thank you very much for tip.
Great job Don! Thanks for sharing.
Genius! Necessity is the mother of invention! Salute!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
i dig this method! thanks for showing us!
Nicely done Dony
Pretty slick. Thanks for the video.
I just weld some rod with a slide directly to the bearing and tap it out that way, it works for me ...
Great job...I just wrap the case in alum foil and put it in the oven at 450 ..10 minutes tap the case with wooden hammer and they just drop out..like your too..
My wife won't let me!
Nice homemade tool dony!!
Nice job. For what it’s worth I have one of those cheap ABN blind bearing puller sets you find on eBay or Amazon, and for occasional use it seems to work fine. Generally I’ll invest $ in higher end tools, but I use this infrequently.
Excellent advice and skill demonstration.
Wow I'm impressed
What type of oil do you use for champion generators??
Thanks for sharing Dony! 😁👍
Hello Donyboy. Chris from Pennsylvania. I have a 2013 Toro snowblower with an 8 horsepower engine Flathead. An exhaust side valve guide it sticks down 16th of inch on the spring side. Is that normal let me know. 🤗
Fantastic Dony!
Thanks Dony
Great wok as per usual.
Great tip Donny!
Great video Don, I like the John Deere colors!! Happy New Year.
Well done Sir!!
Ok that was one slick trick.
Thank you for the great idea
Wow Dony, that was so awesome!
I didn't know you also make your own tools!!
But for us, the DIY'ers who don't know how to make their own tools, where can you buy a tool such as this one?
You can buy a set on Amazon.
Hay bro you should really market that barring puller it will be a grate seller
Great video. Im definitely adding this to my toolkit.
Great idea, nicely done
That's awesome idea thank you and thank you for the video
Awesome job Don. That is pretty invetiver. If the women don't find you handsome, they will find you handy.
Thanks for the tech tip.
Great show dude!
very informative. thanks brother 👍
very interesting tip, thanks!
You are a genius Don, merci !
Nice work and as always, very informative!
Don tu es un magicien mécanique ! -- Merci
Merci mon ami!
...WOW Don.....great job!.....you must have been a machinist in your former life... 🙂
I wish!

That's another way to do it,.. well done!
i bought a new remington 24"fresh 91 octain fuel new ngk plug -25 wont start had to bring inside???
That was really good! Thanks
Awesome video Don. Thanks
Very slick!
