new holland 56 bearing

[stparr98]

Hi, I have a new holland 56 hay rake and I am trying to replace a bearing on a delivery bar. I took the nut off and removed it from the 5 star wheel and then removed the snap ring. Is there a trick to removing the bearing or am i missing something? Any help would be a great help! Thanks, Shane

Shane, I believe it should come out - go to the NH parts store and take a look at the parts diagrams - maybe that will help.

Official New Holland Online Parts Store and Online Parts Catalog for New Holland and Ford Tractors.

Odds are we will hear back from you after you get the new bearing in the bar and are trying to get the stud back into the "spider". Good Luck!

Shane - Now that I think about it the first and last one I changed was on a 258 rake which had a grease fitting on the back side. I was able to take it out and use a punch to tap the bearing out. Try putting it back in the spider with the nut on and use a block of wood and hammer and see if you can drive it off the bearing. Hope that made sense!

Thank you! I will try that. I'll let you know how I make out.

Thanks, Bob! I used your idea about punching it out but I dont have a grease fitting so I drilled a hole, punched it out and then filled the hole in with weld. I did have a problem hooking it back up. I loosened up the spider to get the bolt in and then tighted everything up. Thanks for the help!
