Wanted to Buy

Post by Mike Lebsack-Iowa » Wed Sep 22, 2021 12:54 pm

Is there a front wheel Timken-bearing race puller made for Model T wheels and if so does anyone have one for sale? I find myself having an ever increasing need for one. Please let me know and much appreciated. Mike 319-fourthirty, 49 ninety five.

I've not seen any "puller" type tool for the outer races but Stevens made a specifically shaped hand held drift to use on later hubs with the notches for pounding out the race.

I don't know of a way to get the outer races out without damaging them. The bead of weld around the inside helps shrink them to make them easier to remove. Once you do get them out, be sure to grind the reliefs in the inside of the hub so you can use a drift next time the job needs to be done.

I figured I'd let everyone in on a way to easily remove the small outer wheel bearing races on the pre 26/27 hubs. The jaws in the current set up won't fit in the later hubs.
I've been using this procedure for awhile. This is a cheap 2 jaw puller I got from Harbor Freight. I put notches in the center cone for the puller jaws to ride into and turned the jaws outward.
