As the reult of a bottom end failure, I am building one engine out of two. I intend to give the main case a good clean out and therefore want to remove the gearbox bearings. One is a blind fitting and a special Honda tool is detailed. It appears to be a slide hammer with an expanding end.
As I have no access to one of these, is there an alternative way to get this out?
I assume you are talking about the 3 bearings that are located in the engine case behind the transmission. If so you are talking about the bearing that has the oil plate behind it. There is no other way to get it out other than a blind hole bearing puller. I bought a blind hole bearing puller kit from Harbor Freight and it worked great. Was not very expensive. That bearing is a NTN 6204LU. A 6204 LLU works as well it just has a seal on both sides. You can just pop out a seal on one side...other than that they are identical. When you use a blind hole bearing puller, expanding type with a slide hammer, be careful with the orfice on the oil plate as its easy to reshape the oil plate orfice while putting the expander in the bearing.
Yeah...probably be fine by shooting some brake clean through them and reoiling. My cam chain had eaten the crank llate badly. There was debris all through the engine and transmission. That is the only reason I had replaced mine.
Thanks for the input from all. I have taken advice from two forums and decided to warm the case and then "bump" it onto a timber board. Both bearings popped out easily. Result! New bearings now ordered. These will go into the freezer for half an hour before dropping in.
