Powerhouse Bearing and Grease Baffle Tool
Sponsored Links (Register now to hide all advertisements)
To remove the baffles just pull the bearing by placing a bolt in the end of the shaft and use the right tools, as pictured, to pull the bearing off the shaft and push the grease baffle ahead of it. This way the baffle stays square to the shaft and doesn't enlarge the hole. The pipe works good to tap the bearings in place, then the front spring and baffle. I've seen the spring installed backwards a few times. Notice that the feet on the spring push against the front bearing outer race. Then there is a thin cork gasket, a shield, and the outer special serrated nut. If you look closely at the lower shaft, near the rear bearing you can see a very light knurl I had to put in the shaft to tighten it for the bearing. I've only twice seen a bad bearing in a powerhouse, and some still had the original grease in them. Never hammer or press on the end of the shaft or you can deform it and the pulley will wobble, if the bolt even goes back on. Last edited by Tom Wesenberg; 04-05-2013 at 04:40 PM. |
