Paul H Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 On my xmas list I would like to add bearing removal tools. My experience to date is pretty basic and currently use a vice and a copper headed hammer , plus I have borrowed a slide hammer which was very effective - Is there a "kit" that can be purchased that would cover most jobs for my Vitesse ? Thanks in advance Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Yes bigger vice and bigger mallet theres not much that cant be accomadated with simple but stong means decent drifts for knocking bearings out , set of circlip pliers battery impact wrench taps and dies stanley posidrive and phillips screwdrivers last a lifetime snap on ones have been replace three times and seem rubbish. ratchet ring spanners sets , Iarge sockets tubes and studding to make a bush drag decent collection of new bolts nuts washers much more usefull than a drag you only use once 5ltr tin of brake cleaner and special spray pump pot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Ebay has some churchill hydraulic kits I have had the ram and beam for years now very powerfull http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/sNew-Hydraulic-Bearing-Puller-and-Separator-Tool-25-pcs-Gear-Bearing-Remover-/302133610947?hash=item46589109c3:g:w8YAAOSw5cNYIwlH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 I've got most of Pete's recommendations, except the impact wrench, but if you ask him nicely.......................... I also have a ball joint splitter and a hub puller and I hope Santa is bringing me a trolley jack. Also, looking at more than Triumphs, I have a set off star sockets, very popular on moderns. And a stubby with 50, yes 50, different bits, some of them I've never seen before but I'm told there are applications out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Lewis Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 I reckon it would pull it off easy , but surely to fit it , a tube and mallet would drift it down the shaft??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
