Removing bearing shields

[rickwallace45]

Take a small punch (or your smallest jeweler's screwdriver.)  and pop a tiny
hole in the shield (between balls of course). The metal shield will start to
deform  from that - then lever the shield out of the bearing either using
the hole or an edge exposed from the hole- making. 

 

No damage to the bearing this way.

Subject: Removing bearing shields

 

I have a set of stainless steel shielded bearings for my OS 1.60 and need to
remove the shields.  I haven't figured out a way to do it yet without
damaging the bearing.  Any ideas?  Special tools?  Help!

 

Thanks

Ed
