i still don't see why you don't just get a puller.

for what its worth i broke the end off a cold chisel. like the entire second taper, not just a chip out of it by hitting a wheel bearing case. they are case hardened, and i would assume these are too. I'm a carpenter so I'm pretty good at hammering shit and i didnt leave a mark in it. so id give up on that idea and use a puller.

lol! you need to listen to these people cameron! love ke70 and felix are both on the ball! you wont get it out easily any other way, i too have had this problem, if the puller can't grip on the outer casing, use a die grinder, i used an air operated one on mine with a stone end and carefully took a chunk out of the outer casing, worked a treat!

Hi,

The idea I had of cold chisel was JUST an idea I had in my head as I wouldn't want to do it as knowing me Id damage the crank and I just sold my spare 4K crank..lol Or id kill the bearings n the block from the thrust loading it would receive.

 

So I think Felix's way will just be easier as I have a pencil die grinder so it will get in there easily with the diamond bit in it and do the job.

 

Cheers

Cameron
