I recently bought a Bobcat 2200D and love it. Problem is, my kids drove all day with parking brake on roasting the pads, calipers and rotors. Ordered parts including the above along with snap ring which holds in rear axle bearings and the bearings themselves.
Pulled it all apart and found that the axle bearings are pressed into the housings. Can't get a puller in to grab bearing due to axle in way. Really hate to disassemble entire rear tubes from differential (and frame, springs) to push them out. Turning into a real project from simple brake & rotor replacement.
Anyone have any tricks on getting these bearings out of the tubes? Someone suggested using liquid Nitrogen or CO2 to shrink them, but I've never tried. I don't have the guts to try to torch out since would hate to damage the tube. Bought a complete shop manual on Ebay, but no mention on how to get them out.
thanks for any insight. MIKE (NY) mtaylor1075@hvc.rr.com
