Rear Bearing Grease Seal

Lynn Martin 19 April 2005 08:09:14
 Anyone know how to get the seal out of the housing? Seems like it is
welded into the bearing housing. I've managed to tear up the rubber seal
quite good, but there are still pieces of seal stuck in the housing.

Looking back at some of the RAMVA archives, some people had the same
problems removing the old grease seals from the bearing housing. Did not
see any solutions. Anyone find out if it is part of the actual seal or is
it something else holding it in?

I looked at Speedy Jims article on bearing replacement, and could not find
reference to this.

Thanks,
Lynn

The seal has a heavy metal sleeve as its outer diameter.
The sleeve is coated with rubber which adds a lot of friction.
When stuck like this you have to drive a wedge (aka screwdriver)
between the bearing cover and the sleeve (from the backside).
That will deform the sleeve enough that you can pry the thing out.

You may nick or gouge the housing a bit but it's not that critical.

 Thanks! It looked like that was the case, but I did not want to tear up the
housing with a screwdriver. You can actually see a little bit of rubber at
the lower end of the sleeve.

Thanks again. It is good to be back.
