You usually use a tool called a "puller" for that. It has little claws that grip onto the bearing and a screw that pushes on the shaft. Go talk to someone at your local auto parts store, they may rent them.

How to replace half shaft or CV joint for passenger side; 4 cylinder 1994 Toyota Camry DX; Japan built?

Hopefully you know how to do everything to get to the half shaft. There is a bolt at the bottom of the bearing on the shaft so remove that bolt. Remove the retaining ring in the bearing. Try prying with two pry bars but if that does not work take a mini sledge hammer and beat it out. The problem is usually the bearing. The bearing seems to be aluminum and the bracket is steel and they bond together. Watch the bearing as you pound and you should see it begin to move and the shaft will pop out of the transmission. Clean the bearing housing and coat with anti-seize and align the new shaft in the transmission (align the splines on the end of the shaft with the splines inside the tranny). I take a piece of wood to cover the end of the shaft and gently tap the shaft until it pops into the tranny. Now put it back together. Just make sure the shaft is totally seated in the transmission by watching the bearing location as it enter the bracket it sits in.

How do you replace an axle seal and bearing on a 1993 Ford Crown Victoria?

Assuming rear wheel drive and you're replacing the rear axle seal and bearing with drum brakes: With rear axle off the ground, on stands or blocks and parking brake OFF, remove tire/wheel. Pull brake drum, check for retaining plate that holds bearing, it's usually a 4 bolt square plate near the center of the axle. With the axle off, attach an axle shaft puller to the axle and slide the weight vigorously down the shaft until it pulls off. You will need to take the axle shaft to a shop that has a bearing press so that you can remove the old bearing and install the new one. Many auto parts retailers have a bearing press and won't charge to remove and replace a bearing from the shaft if you buy the parts from them.


How do you pull pilot bearing 1991 Mazda B2200?

I will answer this myself I tried every trick everybody told me I eventually rented a slide hammer puller designed for this. If you have a pilot shaft you can fill the pilot bearing blind hole with wheel bearing grease ( The old thick type works the best ). Then take the pilot shaft and drive it into the hole and it will push the old bearing out. YOU MAY HAVE TO FILL IT WITH GREASE MORE THAN ONCE. Good luck Jerry


How do you replace the carrier bearing on the drive shaft of a 1988 dodge Dakota?

Many carrier bearing assemblies must be pressed off and on the shaft. Sometimes it's best to take the entire driveshaft off the vehicle and have a driveline specialist shop replace all of the u-joints and the carrier bearing at the same time. For that matter, they don't usually charge much to remove and replace the driveshaft so it's often not worth the trouble to do it yourself.


How do you replace the rear wheel bearings on a 1996 gmc jimmy 4 wheel drive?

-Raise and support the vehicle. -Remove rear wheels and disc brakes or drums . -Drain differential oil. Remove differential cover. -In the differential housing there is an 8mm lock bolt that holds the pinion shaft in place remove that. -Remove the pinion shaft. -Remove the C-lock from the button end of the axle shaft. For that you will have to push in on the axle shaft. It will move freely with the pinion shaft out. The pinion shaft holds the two axle shafts apart. -With the C-lock out you can pull the axle shaft out. - You will need an axle bearing puller to remove the bearing. Pull the bearing and the oil seal out. -Clean everything nice and neat with brake parts cleaner. Wipe with clean towel. -Install new bearing and oil seal. You will need a bearing and race setter. (It helps to freeze the bearing before installation.) -Install the clean axle shaft. -Install C-lock. -Install pinion shaft. -Install pinion shaft lock bolt. Use blue thread locker paste so it doesn't come loose from the vibration. -Remove the remaining of the gasket from the differential and pan. Use a razor blade don't scratch it. -Install gasket and differential cover. -Add the differential oil. -Install brake rotors or drums, tires. If you have any doubts take it to a shop. You have to be really precise.


How do you get universal joints out of the drive shaft?

Pry the c-clip out of the ends and press one end of the cross-shaft through the yoke until the bearing cup falls out the opposite side. Once the bearing cup falls out you tip the cross shaft out. You can beat it out with a hammer and a brass drift but you run the risk of cracking the yoke. Unless you have a hydraulic press, your best bet is to take it to a machine shop and have them press the new bearings in. That will be a very inexpensive job.


When you heat a metal ring does the hole become larger or smaller?

It expands; example/ If you take a bearing for a ( motor shaft-not an engine, an electric MOTOR ) to install a new bearing after removing the others simple heat the new one to a moderate temperature with gloved hands slide it onto the shaft. It cools rapidly and is on the shaft as though it was pressed on.

How do you replace the front wheel bearings on a 1998 Malibu?

After you remove the wheel, you will need to remove the caliper, and caliper support bracket. Then remove the rotor. The wheel bearing is held on by three bolts on the back side of the steering knuckle. Remove those. Then take a punch or chisel and tap in the center of the axle to remove the bearing. Don't be afraid to pound on it. Then unplug the ABS sensor and remove. Reverse for Installation. Torque for the axle shaft bearing is 180 ft. lbs. Do not reuse old axle shaft nut, they will give you a new one with your bearing. Do not under or overtighten.


How do you replace axle shaft on 1997 mercury villager?

Because of the complexity of this kind of job, it is strongly suggested that you buy a repair manual that explains it in detail. You need to loosen the axle nut with the car on the ground, raise the car, remove the wheel, unbolt the lower ball joint, tie rod end stud, strut lower through bolts, remove the brake caliper, then you can tap the CV shaft stud back and pull the spindle assembly free of the CV shaft. The driver side CV shaft can then be popped out of the transmission. The passenger side CV shaft has a carrier bearing with three bolts holding the shaft to the bearing. Do not try to take the bracket off the engine, it is not necessary. Installation is the reverse of removal.
