G0602 spindle problem

[kwoodhands]

I had no luck removing the bearing with heat. I took the spindle to a bearing supply and bought new bearings. I was told to cut the old bearing off . I used a Dremel tool and it took less than 1 minute . I was told to use the new outer races . Not sure how to remove them , maybe the Dremel tool.
Tomorrow I will take the spindle and bearings to a garage and ask if they can press the bearings on. I never thought to sand the spindle slightly . Hopefully the garage can press the bearings on.

I called and went to at least 8 places. Finally I got an answer to a Hydraulic business that has a press.
I have to wait til Monday. I got there too late today.

Depending on the size of the bearing, you can also shrink the bearing on by heating it in clean hot oil, at least 200°F but not more than 250°F, it would even help to put the spindle in the freeze, the greater the difference in temperature the better. You won't have a lot of time to get it in place but it will work. Also, when it drops on, hold it to the shoulder or it can move. Note that it doesn't work well for small bearings as they don't expand enough and will cool too quickly to allow it to be put in place.

Toaster oven works well.
