Throw out bearing carcass stuck to my sleeve

[halboyles]

I have soaked it with carcinogenic chemicals, heated it with an induction coil until glowing, tried gently coaxing it with a three pound mall and chisel, and farted in its general direction, all to no avail. 

This is on a Getrag 265/6 so the sleeve portion is rather rare and not really expendable.  Also, the bell housing cannot be removed with the remains of the TO bearing stuck to the sleeve so I must work on it in situ.

All you wrust wranglers, HELP!!!

Dremel and cutting wheels? Slot the sleeve as deep as you dare then heat it and pull.

I would be grinding it super thin in slots with a die grinder until it gives up and can be peeled off in sections.

Yea cut slot(s) and then chisel & hammer.

 

and more farts

and some finnish swear words (aloud, like you mean it) - find em helpfull

Agreed Dremel cut off wheel, the 420 wheel is almost an inch and is reasonably tuff.

I prefer alcohol over swearing, but then one usually leads to the other.

It sounds like you're trying to save the sleeve, so is there enough room between the sleeve and the bellhousing casting to work a thin, split bearing puller back in there to pull from the back side?

 

Otherwise, go with the Dremel and a good supply of cutoff wheels.

I appreciate all the fast responses.  Dremeling sounds like the best option, coupled with a puller to yank on it.  

But, I really didn't expect a beumb!

I like cutoff wheels but can you weld something to the bearing that you can attach a slide hammer to?

[stephers]

Undo the bell housing and use it to help push the guide tube thru the remains of the release brg???

 

Thanks, Rick

Thanks for all the responses.  Son of Marty was the first to suggest the Dremeling technique and that worked.  It did leave a small groove on the sleeve which can be cleaned up with some JB Weld I believe.

I recommend that after cleaning to bare metal, you use silver solder instead of JB Weld. Then gently file off the excess to a smooth finish.

This is a good idea and very easy to implement.

Must have been on there a while huh?

Glad you got it off and the sleeve can be cleaned up enough to use.

Pretty sure I would put a little anti seize on that sleeve maybe more than a little  😉

If thats just a guide can't you just leave that small cut alone with out filling it and just clean the whole thing up with some ribbon sandpaper?
