got an oxy torch?
if so gently heat the bearings up and hit them off with a hammer...
Hi all,
I need to get my Axle bearings taken off my kouki axles to get my drums onto the Tarago axles. What would be the easiest way to get them off?
I have a 12 tonne press sitting in the garage, but its not setup yet. Would this be the best way to get them off?
The Axle has two holes in it, for undoing the bolts that hold the axles in that are on the diff (4x14mm ones), Would I put the press through them, and do it slowly but surely a bit on each side..
Any help is great.....

can get a die grinder and gently thin an area, and use a colt chisel to crack it.

Just remember don't heat bearings too hot, or they fuk out.
don't do either of the above... make friends with your mechanic and take your axle to them. they are supposed to be press on/off. not cut, or heat. both of those run the risk of damaging your axle. my mechanic did it for free because he loves me in the pants. but shouldnt cost much if your not in the same possition as me.

Most mechanics i know crack the retaining collar off with a chisel...
Yes, did the grinder/crack method with my Zenki axle bearings 2 months ago.
Cut 3/4 through both sides of retainer then used chisel to break it off. After that used a press to get the old bearings off then new bearings on.
Installing the new retainers I heated them up to 150 degrees then pressed them on.
I followed the AE86 manual page 71 and on
never had to heat lock rings, just pressed them on. the chisel method is the best way to remove them imo.
I just take mine to my local diff specialist. I think it cost me $50 to have him do it for me last time, and all I had to do was supply the bearings and locking collars. Not worth my time and effort to do it myself!
cutting/chisel method is fine and is pretty common practice among professionals.
