BIG THANK YOU!!!! THIS IS WHY I F**K'N LOVE UA-cam! No amount of rigging up with the vice or clamps or smashing it out with a hammer even touched it. I put in the oven at 180c and 5 minutes later I heard a bang on my grill, which was the bearing falling out. The new one just dropped straight in while it was warm.
Hi Matt. Love the vid's. I'm in process of restoring a '76 Elsinore 125 and am having big difficulty getting the one and only blind trans shaft bearing out. I tried this grill method and the two large one's fell right out just like you said. The blind bearing however had the cage and needles fall apart and the outer shell won't budge. Short of buying the entire Tusk kit, do you have any tips? I tried a seal puller on the outer lip and a piece actually broke off so that is a no go. Thanks
Hey again Matthew. Im in the process of taking my bearings out of my wr450f. Can i put the cases in the oven at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes? I have a slide hammer but like the idea of heating it all up better than smashing them out. Thanks
Yes oven works even better. Problem is that any oil film will smoke and smell up the whole house. Not recommended if you live with your mom or wife...LOL. If you live alone go for it.
Hey when using the bearing race driver to finish putting in (let say) the main bearing, should I have to worry about the tool’s face hitting the inner race too ? What you think 🤔
I want you to take a bearing and put it on the seal driver side of the tool....then press firmly on the outer race ..... do you know what is going to happen ? The inner race won’t spin at all. But now, press firmly on the inner race..... do you know what’s going to happen ? The outer race on the bearing will spin like a gyro. That concludes my observations that when the seal driver side of that tool is used as a bearing driver it will first contact the inner race of the bearing way before the outer race. Make sense ?
I believe that this is one of the causes that lead the early or premature bearing failure. The crank journal is going into the inner race of the bearing all the way till it bottoms out so; why would you want it hit on both inner & outer race at the same time when it can be avoided at all costs. All you have to do is buy an impact socket the same size as the outer race at your local parts store or machine a tool (if you want to go that route $$) that fits on the outer race only? I don’t just believe everything I see or read i do deep research and fail hands on at times. That’s why I want for you to experiment with this and let’s see your findings. Would really be a lot of help if you did. Thanks Matt 🤙🏽💯
If I need to bake the cases to get shift drum needle bearing out, will the rest of the bearings hold up to the heat? Or will I have to replace every bearing.
Would this heating method work with connecting links that have blind bearings? I recently broke my blind bearing collet (Motion Pro) and damaged my connecting link trying to get the blind bearing out. It was extremely difficult.
Pro tip to anyone trying this: Be very careful about your temperature setting. I just turned a case into a Picasso painting using this method. Apparently my "medium" is different than everyone else's "medium". Don't over cook your case and end up like me.
Hi matt I've just popped 2 blind bearings out after 150 deg in the oven,, I was gonna weld a bolt to them,you certainly saved me a lot of work Cheer's

Good video❤️👍 I always find that the needle bearing get stuck when installing them, I believe oiling the outside helps?
Hey Matt great video.. rebuilding 400ex!! removing bearings just got easier thank you thank you
Good idea, I saw this after I used a torch heated mildly and tapped them out.
Great video. Thanks for sharing this information.
No prob Rob

If the tool face is contacting both outer and inner race, I don't see a problem with that.
I want you to take a bearing and put it on the seal driver side of the tool....then press firmly on the outer race ..... do you know what is going to happen ?
The inner race won’t spin at all.
But now, press firmly on the inner race..... do you know what’s going to happen ?
The outer race on the bearing will spin like a gyro.

@@charlesdavidson7324 Well in that case a suitable socket and outer race only.
Great vid, awesome explanation, thank you
+derekgibbons218 Your welcome!

The bearings will hold up to the heat if you plan on reusing them.
Would this heating method work with connecting links that have blind bearings? I recently broke my blind bearing collet (Motion Pro) and damaged my connecting link trying to get the blind bearing out. It was extremely difficult.
Is the connecting link aluminum? If so, then yes. However, those particular bearings are a PITA to remove.
MatthewMCRepair Thanks for the reply and yes its aluminum (05 RM 125). I will give it a try next time...
do you have to remove the cylinder studs before heating the cases?
No. Don't attempt to remove them unless they are damaged.
Webber always gets it done
Love this grill. Costs 1400 new and scored it for 300 used on ebay. NG hookup so no messing with propane tanks.
I tried this but it doesn't work for me, I even put the bearing in the freezer for about 20 minutes. I don't know what else do!
Year make model and what bearing?
It's called a blind bearing puller and they're $20 you said it's $10 for a bearing do the math it's not $100 tool
What are the causes for the bearing seat to be loose?
Does the seat appear to be damaged? Are you using OEM bearings?
MatthewMCRepair yes seat is damaged. Original bearings. Any idea?

What is the temperature limit of the engine?
Cases should be warmed up to 180°F. You could go more however rarely find the need to.
bro how to repair the hole of bearing in crankcase
Kettle of hot water around the bearing faces, bearing in the fridge and job done.
Pro tip to anyone trying this: Be very careful about your temperature setting. I just turned a case into a Picasso painting using this method. Apparently my "medium" is different than everyone else's "medium". Don't over cook your case and end up like me.
JT, that is why I have an IR gun and mention 140-170°F is plenty.
What kind of grill do you have? Mine will only hit 550-600.
MatthewMCRepair its pretty obvious he totally lied about melting his case.
Aluminum melts at 1200°F. I don't have to explain any further.
That's what happens when you gloves lol
