Mine's knackered so I've got a new one to go in but...it's getting the bastard out.

What's the easiest way to get them out?

TIA

 

A SNUG but not tight fitting piece of wood dowel in the middle, after packing with grease as much as you can get in there, then whallop the dowel in ther and grease forces it out so I'm told, never worked for me though, I have a specific puller now!!

I'd heard about the grease trick. Looks like I may have to get the proper tool.

Thanks anyway.

 

Forgot another way is to CRUSH them in, with a thin drift, and then pop them out, have done this a few times, got pissed off with missing with hammer and hitting my ever swelling hand, so bought puller!!!

Yeah the grease thing never worked for me either...must be a old wives tale lol

I used a small slide hammer and hook on my last one..came out quite well.

 

Alway's worked for me fill with loads of grease pack it fully and using a clutch alignment tool give it a good wack u may have to repack again,but thats the way i have done them about 6 in total

 

Ordered the slide hammer tool now.

Thanks for all the replies though.
