Bearing puller / worm gear puller

[windy81]

hey guys, my first post here

 

In your collective experience what bearing puller would you recomend for most if not all bearing / worm gear / seal removal ?

 

Reason i ask is because i had a bitch of a time removing the worm gear of an old Husky 154, made worse that its made of soft bronze/brass. even after significant heat it would not budge so had to cut it off.

 

I'll need to remove another worm gear off a Husky 254 to replace the seals and since this chainsaw ain't mine i really dont want to end up cutting it off again

 

I had a look at these for example and thought they would be too big to fit in the internal diameter of most crank bearings and also would probably slip off the worm gear

Nice question, I have a few pullers, mostly unconventional to the ones you show. I used a ball joint splitter on the last 254 I did, bit of a job but it worked.

 

It may be worth: fabricating a puller or at least some extensions that will cope with bearings and bushes etc.

What ever set of pullers you have, you always need another type. Ive about 10 different sets of what you are thinking of buying and all have been modified for specific jobs. Dont know why you need them to fit the internal diameter of crank bearings as they are easier to press out or if they are in a blind hole slide hammer out. I would start off with a 2 leg puller, something like the draper 6 inch one. If the legs do start to slip off you can put a clamp round the 2 legs to keep it in place.

i made a tool that screws on the worm gear and you can just wind it off i think it was for my brother in laws husky 45
