    Default Looking for some parts for a m1022 (container dolly set)

    Have a civvy 230...took out the pilot bushing with the old grease trick...nice and easy....the one thats in the truck...well Kevin came over...after 3 hours of packing grease and pounding with a 5 lb sledge...after tiring of fooling around with the small stuff...the bearing has not moved at all...
    Any suggestions? It is in the truck with the flywheel and bellhousing attached...I would rather not have to remove then...better to say Kevin would rather not...and I can see from the civvy engine and flywheel, that there is nothing holding it up from coming out...
    Any help appreciated!!

    Not any help, I had the same problem in my Plymouth and gave up.

    If you have a mechanic friend, borrow his (or her) slide hammer kit. If it's a good one, it'll have a three finger attachment that can be set up to grip the inside of a shoulder. I'd think that would do the job.

    I have not seen one of this in person, but. Can you beat in one side like a freeze plug?

    or

    What are those things called that you use when attaching something to concrete blocks or drywall? Those nuts that go through a hole and then open up like a flower. Just something that will get behind the bearing so that you can use somekind of puller anchored to either the crank or the bellhousing to pull it out.

    I like Chris's idea the best though, a slide hammer is probably going to be the ticket.
    Remember if you didn't build it you can't call it yours.

    I have threaded them witha tap then used the correct size bolt to thread in hole and push against rear of crank to push bushing out.

    How about a bit of heat with a torch? It might loosen it up...

    I guess I should say it is a bushing not a bearing...its an inch long, 5/8ths ID and 13/16ths OD, bronze...at least the used one measures those amounts... It sits flush with the end of the hole in the crank and after the bushing there is about another half inch of room before you hit the end of the 'pocket' it sits in...just in case anyone is wondering...
    Dave, heck of an idea...that is what I will try...the bronze is soft, but not incredibly so...should work...I'll let you know...if not the slide hammer might but it might be hard to find an end that small to work...
    And thanks to everybody for the help!!!

    See if you can drill a hole in it at 3 O'clock and 9 0'clock then get a sharp chisle and cut through the remaining webbing at the side of the drill hole. It should start moving then.

    The end is broken off actually...pieces were found on the flywheel inner lip...its pretty rough as Kevin cut his finger on it...and now it is kinda beveled inward...roughly of course...good idea with the chisel though...

    Beat a center punch into it until you can make a small drill work. It should go pretty nicely through the cast bronze. You may have to do it in four place (let it alone Robert) and then beat on piece out if it. (Again Robert).
