Dismounting
Small bearings can generally be re-
moved using a mechanical puller. These
withdrawal tools should grip over the
rings from the inside or outside and
contact the side faces.Dismounting larger bearings withbore diameters of 80 mm and above
with an interference fit on the shaft is
considerably eased, if the SKF oil injec-
tion method is used ( Safety note >
Fig 10 To avoid damage or accidents
when dismounting bearings from
tapered seatings using the oil
injection method, always make
sure that the bearing is blocked at
the
shaft end, e.g. by a lock nut, to
prevent it from falling off. The force required to remove a bear-ing is generally greater than the
mounting force, particularly if, after a
long period of service, fretting corro-
sion is present. If bearings or other
associated components are to be re-
used after inspection, they must be
dismounted as carefully as they were
mounted, and the dismounting forceshould never be applied through the
rolling elements. >
