Obviously you are charging royalties of one stubby per use of these ideas ;D ;D

The Dyna bolt is even re-useable ;)

What's the go with the top one ?

The hose clamp reinforces the alloy lip as you lever out the seal ;) :).

Post by: Slakewell on February 25, 2011, 08:23:33 pm: Hmm I have always had a brass 3/8 rod with a small lip that gets wheel bearing out everytime , but I like the Dyna bolt idea.

Post by: Mick D on February 25, 2011, 08:43:50 pm: This part of a kit thing has traveled Oz with me and pulled heaps of seal out.

It is called a seal puller ;D

But saying that who does not admire ingenuity.

Thumbs up for the heat gun too Davey, very handy.

Post by: Curly3 on February 25, 2011, 09:08:12 pm: Q - What does a Walrus & mr Tupper have in common?

A - They both like tight seals.

I have to say you have a very impressive tool there MICK-DE.
I haven't seen one of those before.
This thread has leg's.

I think the dynabolt would be a wee bit cheaper ;) :P.

Post by: pancho on February 27, 2011, 05:25:02 pm: Hey slakewell, using brass or aluminium is not recmended for nocking out or in bearings,gears, etc as little pieces get into places undesirable.
I always use a piece of mild steel [not hardened] with any burrs ground off.
cheers pancho.
