Hi All
Got a bit carried away tonight.. went to change the oil in the bevel box but ended up taking the rear paralever off, or at least trying to...
The bearings had a bit of play, so I tried to adjust them.. but it just didn't feel right so guess the bearings are goosed so I need to replace them.. they are tapper rollers I'm thinking... got the LHS pivot out but using the big nut as a puller against the frame boss using a big washer, obviously with foam protection
But, the RHS one is stuck I guess in the inner race?... and probably rusted in....
I put 3 long bolts in the clamp holes and using the centre bolt with a nut and a big washer onto their heads, tried to jack the thing out... nothing... so its soaking in release oil now.... TBH if that wont shift it, i doubt if a sliding hammer will do anything?... dont have one anyway, but easy to make....
If it aint going to come, I can always drill the Steel pivot away and get another...
Any other thought on pulling it?...
cheers
