| Post subject: | New member removing clutch bearing. |
Hi All, I'm a new member who has followed this site for years. I don't have a Paso but I bought a left over 87 Alazzurra back in 1990 and still own it. I tried to find a Paso for a project but I couldn't find anything and bought an old monster. One day I'll find an unloved Paso. Anyway the clutch throw out bearing on my Alazzurra failed so I JB welded a 3/8'' ? stud into the bearing and let it set over night. I put pushed some greasy paper into the bottom of the bearing hole first so I didn't glue the bearing to the piston. I put a 25mm socket, a washer and nut onto the stud and when tightened the bearing pulled out easily. It was kind of anticlimactic actually. Off to the Skate Shop this morning. I don't have a press. Do you think it will tap in with a socket if I freeze the bearing and heat the clutch cover a little? Thanks for letting me join your forum. I find the genuine willingness to help and total lack of one upmanship on this site to be unique. I apologize if someone has already posted this solution, I looked but didn't see it. Jack |

Hi Jack, interesting info, thanks. I wouldn`t have believed it was possible to remove the bearing this way. I guess you`ve got the new bearing installed by now. Putting the bearing in the freezer and heating up the piston (not the cover) is a good way to install it. This way you can tap it in carefully. A socket will work. I keep a collection of old outer bearing races for this. If the bearing doesn`t slip in easily it`s better to use a press or bench vise. |
