Removing bearing shields

[Nat Penton]

Ed you will get longer service life if you do not remove the shields. I'm assumming this is the same bearing, rubber seals, that I am using on the 91FX. You need to provide adequate crankcase coling.            Nat Penton

  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.

  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
