We bring to your attention one more practical idea how to make a bearing puller with your own hands from improvised materials. To do this, you will need two pieces of a bicycle chain, a small piece of steel pipe, two nuts, as well as home-made metal grips. From the main tool for this homemade product you will need a welding machine and a grinder.
Step-by-step puller manufacturing process
First, grind the edges of the nuts a little to press them into the tube, and then grab by welding. Then it is necessary to weld the grips to the edges of the bicycle chain, after cutting off part of the link. At the next stage of work, we weld two segments of the chain on the sides of the sleeve with nuts.
To give the finished product a more aesthetic appearance, the places for welding parts must be treated with a cleaning disc for the grinder. Be sure to follow the safety rules when working with a power tool. We screw a long bolt of suitable diameter into the nuts, and now the home-made manual bearing puller is ready for use.
Features and operating principle of the tool
To remove the bearing from the shaft, it is necessary to hook it with grippers, and push the bolt into the shaft itself, and turn it clockwise. Sometimes, instead of a shaft, a tube turns out to be - in this case, first we wind the nut, and then insert it inside and twist the open-end wrench or ring spanner. The tool turned out to be compact, very convenient and practical to use, but most importantly - inexpensive.
