Help I messed up

[Bozzy]

Why I did not leave that bearing but no I had too!!!

What do or can I do now? it wont budge, manager to damage the casing and burr inside as can be seen bearing still sits ok checked that.

Decided to STOP before doing anything else and ask you all for some direction. I know it look bad. I did start to try and Dremel out the bearing outer but Lidl stuff not upto the challenge.

I am stuff engineering shop?

Try an M10 Rawl bolt fitted from the top and tightened up. Then use a punch on the Rawl bolt from the underside. Warming the ali casing up can help. It's worked a treat for me in the past

thanks will try that one.. worried about that small damage to the bearing surface not sure if its like that as standard hopefully it will be ok

Or you can get specific bearing puller tools

Heating the casing up will help

[Bozzy]

thanks I tried quite a bit of heat... knew I Should have not bothered trying to get that bearing out but makes me think that its never been replaced before now.. it was the only bearing I was planning to not replace

I usually use a bearing puller or you can draw out with a bolt similar to what Dusty says.
Looks a bit of a mess now, hope you get sorted.

heat and freeze spay (plumbers use it for freezing water pipes, it come in a spray can)

We only just talked about this recently, so worth a search, but yeah heat and the specialist tools (cheap enough these days on ebay/amazon etc) really help with this one.

Carefully slot the bearing case vertically with a decent carbide burr in your Dremel type tool. Once through, it will just fall out.

Garryson are good burrs, not particularly cheap, but do a good job:

What you've done is quite likely not going to cause any bother, that bearing doesn't have a hard task to perform.

Don't damage the inner face where the seal fits or you'll find it might leak oil.

I always get those out the same way. Weld something in the middle of the bearing and simple tap out from the other side. The heat of the welding works a treat too.

Thanks for above great info/help appreciated.

Had another go this morning heat and another puller and it would not budge sure its never been out so thinking only option carbide bit.. Then later on chickened out took it to a local classic bike restro shop and he removed it and pushed new bearing in so all good now, ok lighter pocket :-( but sometimes it has to be done and know my limits).. good news back to the rebuild :-) and know all bearings now replaced.
