Needle bearings

[BLUESMOKEGTP]

Whats the easiest way to get the case needle bearings out. Getting the gen v ready for the powdercoaters

[Bio248]

drill/tap the holes in the bottom of the case. push out with grease gun.

I may be mistaken here, but he said Gen V... I thought the grease trick didn't work with the Gen V.

More likely, he will need the correct puller.

i wasn't aware that it doesn't work with the genv. care to elaborate?

Gen 5 bearimg are open both sides. They go into a bore that is totally closed. Even if there was a cross drill the bearimg isn't closed.

You need an internal bearing puller and a slide hammer.

blind pilot bearing tool. I got one from Harby Freight

[Bio248]

well that sucks. the gen3 is super easy compared to that, then.

either way with the right puller it can't be terrible. oh well, i tried. good info.

Ok cool cool. Now to look in my box n see if ive got a slide hammer pilot bearing removal tool

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

Why remove them anyway?

Powercoating ovens should not even get hot enough to damage anything on the inside.

[BLUESMOKEGTP]

Are you sure is my question powdercoating ovens get over 400° if im not mistaken. Are we sure that it wont mess up the needle bearings. If this is so i will not mess with them

[sseilmnop]

The grease and seal are not rated to 400.

I replace a set in a powder Coated blower, they needed done. The case was bead blasted but the grease wasn't right.

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

I've read anywhere from 350-390º F for temps.

Put some high temp grease in it and call it good lol.

[BLUESMOKEGTP]

I dont know maybe i should replace em for good measures being that i got the blower from the jy

[sseilmnop]

There probable fine tell you bake them to 350-390. If you don't bake them, clean them out and regrease them.

[BLUESMOKEGTP]

Well i got the needle bearings out. But i need to know if anyone knows who sells them or have a part number for them

[sseilmnop]
