Hi all,
Replacing the clutch on Ford/NH 1715 compact tractor and am having trouble removing the pilot bearing. I don't own a blind hole puller so I thought I'd try the hydraulic grease trick. Didn't work. The grease blew out the flimsy outside bearing retainer. I've looked online for a blind hole puller but the smallest only claim to fit 1/2" id bearings. This pilot bearing, apparently very common, a 6001z has an id of 12mm which is slightly smaller than 1/2". Anyone know if this type of puller (runs from about $40 - $100 from varying manufacturers) will work even thought the stated minimum is 1/2". Thanks for any replies.
