Okay guys, so I needed to replace the large bearings in the front alloy hub. I happen to get a rock wedged in there and snap the drive and damage the outer of 2 bearings at Rocky Hill Raceway NH this past weekend.
Okay, so logically we would need a blind hole bearing puller. Due to the fact that there’s no space in the hub with big bearings like this MCD has undercut cut 2 spots under the bearings. Well there’s actually no tool offered at this time by MCD for this, so after talking with Maher at Cardinal yesterday I came up with a quick remedy.
I happen to have a Pittsburg (Harbor Freight ) blind hole bearing puller on hand so here is the mods I did to make the tool work for pulling the bearing. Pictures are worth a hundred words, but if you need any clarification on what I‘ve done and how just ask guys.
cleaned up and polished, ready for new bearings and new out drive. Welcome to Racing boys! Everything and anything can happen at any giving moment!
