I'm swapping in a used Trac-Lok on my D44. Unfortunately the Trac-Lok bearing races are missing so I must install fresh bearings.
I need to figure out a way to pull the old bearings and install the new ones. Also, I'll probably have to do this more than once as I set up the pre-load. I've seen these bearings pressed off using a bearing seperator and back on using the proper diameter socket.
If I don't have a press, can I install the seperator, then use a gear puller on the seperator if I can find the right diameter socket to engage the carrier and let the bearing slip over?
Any ideas for re-installation without a press?
Thanks!
