Removal of Bearing Race "Tip"

[Willy Mammoth]

Have you ever had a bearing race you just could not get behind to knock it out?

Here is a way to get it out and you don't even need a hammer. 

First pic is the race in question.

Second pic is the race after welding a few passes around it and letting it cool.

This works because when the weld cools it pulls on the metal causing it to shrink. It should fall out without having to use a hammer.

Just make sure you don't weld it in place.

Always trying to make things easy. So I see you have the V6 3rd you've been looking for.

Naw, that is the HP that is going tomorrow.

That's what you get for runnin those high falootin specialty 3rds...my regular ole 4cyl 3rds have that nice opening under the races...couple whacks wit da BFH on an old socket stension and out they come.
