Pilot bearing removal question

[bcp]

This style expansion bolt. Hold the body with vise grip while tightening the nut. Then pull it out.

That doesnt tell me its a ball bearing. Best if info is stated up front.

Google "6001z". If you were familiar with bearing at all you wouldn't need to to know it was a ball bearing.

Sucks not to have the tools you need. The wet newspaper idea might work. I had never heard of that one.

The bearing type is critical info ... its # is immaterial. Why should I have to look it up? and then assume it is unique. Good definitive info up front is due diligence. Lacking that, a simple yes or no to a clarifying question will let everybody know.

I don't know that tractor at all, but will ask anyway is the bearing mounted in the flywheel or in the crankshaft?
If the bearing is in the flywheel you can unbolt it then simply drive the bearing out, I only suggest this because your having trouble removing it by normal methods.

Lets see. He said it was a pilot BEARING. And then he said it was a 6001z. That is a very common and recognizable ball bearing number. Looked like good info to me.

BEARING is not definitive - especially as applied to pilots. Answers being given were not as well directed toward a ball bearing as they were toward removal of a plain bearing. Hence the question to overtly clarify ... met with response that appears to have an obnoxious element.

Awe come on guys, it's so simple, maybe you need a refresher course. It's all 6001z bearings these days! :laughing:

Sorry, been away for awhile. Don't want want to stir up bees here. It is a ball bearing found on F/NH 1520 series compacts (including my 1715). I'll send pictures next time I get up to my place (about a week). I think Ill try the wet paper next and if not I'll buy the cheap HF hammer set and see if I can baby it out with those hook attachments. Thanks for all the ideas!

Replace the ghrease with wet newspaper ! no glossy paper !

Sorry. I would have thought that was a give away, but I guess not. If he would have said "ball bearing" then everyone would have known. By the way. I bet you have several of that very bearing size on your place. Lots of power tools, alternators, etc. use that size bearing.

Well for closure of this thread, I finally got the pilot bearing out. Tried the grease and wet paper to no avail. Bought the cheap $19 slide hammer set from HF and broke the 2 cheap accessories that had removal hooks on them. Finally broke down and bought the more substantial pilot bearing puller set at HF. The smallest puller fit with an inner diam fitting of 3/8". Took several tries, as with moderate tightening before hammering, the puller jag pulled past the inner bearing sleeve. Finally realized that it was going to take less play, and running out of options I heated the flywheel around the circumference of the bearing for about 5 min. with a propane torch and really cranked down on the tightening screw of the puller jag. Several really hard blows with the hammer dislodged the bearing but the puller jag was mangled. Will probably not be able to be used again. That sukka was in there tight but there also was no evidence of corrosion. Guess sometimes the Bear gets you.

Loctite (red) a shaft in the bearing bore. Pull out shaft and brg. using pliers and hammer.
Or drill/tap shaft to accept threaded rod and make a slide hammer.

:thumbsup::thumbsup: Whereve you been?
... #638 Green is my workhorse. Very strong, but weakens with moderate heat.

Sorry I am late to the party.
Joined when I needed help with splitting JD 870 and replacing transmission seal and some bearings.
Ok on green. Kinda thin though.

638 is not one of the thin ones ~ room temp honey.

Jim,
I'll remember the Loctite idea. That is a good one.

Unfortunately theres no way itll work if you are in a hurry. Gotta wait for it to cure. A little heat helps, but its gonna be hours minimum before its good and strong.

Very true. One might try super glue, assuming bearing is a slip fit
in its housing.

Too late, I know, but my local yard rents pullers...
