Excellent video, simple, to the point, no stupid comedian jokes, no soul searching personal therapy rants, no self-serving comments. Just the topic at hand and the topic only. Great job !!
From what I've learned doing this, it would cost a lot to do things the way the big guys do it. I'm just one guy and I kept things real simple. But thanks!
There is similar kit made by polish people. Google for "good mood bike". The also have a tools for blind bearings which are known as particalury tricky to remove.
You shown us a solution to removing a bearing from a non flat surface using a slide hammer. What is the solution for replacing a bearing in the same situation?
Sorry I missed your question. Removal, blind bearing puller (now but I'm developing something). Install should be normal bearing press unless complicated by extended inner bearing ring. There are more details that I can help you with if you email me the bike model and pivot.
can you crack a carbon fiber frame pressing a bearing out crooked? i was pushing my lower shock bearing out of carbon slash and heard a loud crack when tightening down the press but idk if it was the bearing breaking loose or frame cracking. it was seized in bad and could not be pulled out with slide hammer so i pressed it out.
No, but I can tell you that some customers have had removal difficulty due to sloped or small surfaces. You will need other tools like MAYBE a bearing puller. I would suggest you look up the Giant service manual, but I couldn't find one and had no luck contacting Giant. If you do find one, PLEASE send it to me.
I just got my ABN, so I'll be able to ship to Australia now! I'll be opening sales up on the website as soon as I can sort out some of the shipping costs.
