My Bearing tool
#1
A little about the bearing tool, the tool used for pressing in the bearings was a custom one I built on the lathe far bettor engineered then the factory one.
Couple pics of when I was turning it down on the lathe,
Now about the tool, here is the tool stacked
All of the pieces are machine to slip together and utilize for storing and a guiding tool together for the press. There are also several ways to use the tool.
The inner cylinder here is used for pressing the stationary gears in and out. One side of the cylinder pushes the bearing out, flip the item over and it seats the bearing. The out portion is shown here
This side is 2 steeped as the inner step seats inside of the bearing to prevent the tool from walking and even the pressure across the bearing. The second step catches the gear at the exact moment the bearing is freed and falls thru. I also use this side to start the bearing in. Now on the other side we see the seat portion
This side is 2 stepped as well if you look closely there is a half thousandth machine step in the middle then a second machined grove. The second machined groove is designed to clear the bevel in the front stationary gear. The inner groove is designed to perfectly seat the bearing flush into the gear. Here is a far shot of the inner sleeve and bearing tool.

This portion is the rotor bearing extractor tool
The inner portion is machine grooved to seat inside the bearing to prevent wobbling while the outside is machined to slide perfectly thru the rotor. Flip the tool up to look at it as it would be seated on the bearing
You see another machined grove this grove seats the guide collar or slip sleeve. When the collar is in place the stationary gear puller is machined in the middle to perfectly slip inside to give the press a perfect contacting surface of force applied to your work, the assembled tool shown here.
This tool is used to seating the rotor bearing
I use the extractor tool to start the bearing after that this tool is used to ensure a perfect seat.
This is machined the same way as the stationary gear seat tool and the rotor bearing extractor tool seats upside down into the seat tool like this
The tool finish assembly looks like this
And there you have it an IBP bearing tool.
