I used that same one for my engine for the main bearings. I bought it becuase I only planned on using it for only those two bearings. It broke on the second bearing. HAHA. One of the arms broke in the middle. I ended up welding the arm back on. Then I went to pull it again and maximum diameter was not enough. I then had to place a little tack weld on the inside of each arm to make the reach larger. Then the top bar with the pillars mounted to it started to bend really bad before it finally pulled it. It almost broke. So I would recommend against that one. Also, its only 15 if you get it at harbor freight (or harbor junk as I call it). But I wouldn't buy it again

I use this one on every bearing in the motor except the brass cage FX400 one (it does fit the other ones).

Yes, it's expensive. But it's the cheapest one that I have found that does the job. It's so much easier than a jaw type puller on blind bearings.

I wonder if this one would work? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/disp...temnumber=95987

if it works for every bearing thats not expensive.....what do you use for the rear axle bearing...that is more than 32mm...mabey like 40mm..?

Haydug made a post on how to do it. Works well. Basicly you just mount carrier in a vice and heat it up a little around bearing area. They fall out.

and put you new ones in the freezer and let them get real cold and drop them back in the hot carrier

I'll second heating the carrier and freezing the bearings- works like a charm. Make sure you pop the seal out first. I always lay the carrier on the wood stove for about 10 minutes. Pick it up, shake it a couple times, and the bearings fall right out.

all right... thanks guys..i didnt even think about that...
