A little torque tube tech
There have been some threads about replacing the center bearing. I needed to remove one. If you have not done this here are some ideas.
I have Skip Haney’s instructions,but you have to work a little harder than it seems. He says use 1 1/2” pipe. I bought some and and it would not fit through the transmission end. I think he meant 1 1/2” od pipe which is 1 1/4” pipe size. That is what I used You need a 42” piece. To keep it centered I made a plug to center on the bearing. The next step after removing sleave and seal is to pound it out. I marked where it was so I coild tell if it moved. I put it on a piece of plywood and used my engineers hammer as hard as I could. It did not budge. I got a heavy sledge hammer I use for fence posts. After some heavy licks it finally started to move and then came out. Second picture is a section of a torque tube that I had for reference. John |

Re: A little torque tube tech
Often wondered how to go about doing that...or what the bearing looked like?
