Thanks for the help. I ended up welding a slide hammer to the end of the shaft. Was a SOB, the primary shaft is such a damn hard steel. The shaft AND bearing came out. My next question, if someone would please help me out is, HOW do I get the bearing off, and the new one onto the shaft? Do I just hammer it on? Is there a certain way to press it on? And would be best idea to put shaft back into flywheel with new bearing on just to add lots of grease and hammer it in?
Nick, I'm glad that you were able to remove the PDS, however, I would not have suggested to do any welding on this PDS...... you may have changed the tempering of the steel. Not good!
I'm not following you re; the "
shaft back into flywheel" .... perhaps elaborate on this.
The PDS installs in the flywheel cover bore. The pilot nose becomes centered via the crankshaft bushing. The PDS forward splines engage into the Borg Warner coupler. Both of these should be greased for rust protection.
Use only brass tools for driving this back home.
It will not require excessive force.
If it does, STOP, and find out why.
As for removing the single bearing, there will be a small compression type C clip that holds the bearing onto the PDS.
Once the C clip is removed, the bearing can be gently tapped from the shaft, or you can use a press if you want to.
The single bearing on the DP-C1 PDS will be a 6206 with a suffix that designates that this is a sealed bearing. Purchase an electric motor grade bearing.......
and without fried rice or BBQ pork ...... IOW, NO Chinese bearings.
Your local major bearing suppier will know exactly what bearing to sell you.
Polish the PDS bearing surface, and polish out the PDS bore within the flywheel cover.
I'll usually heat the bearing just a tad, and slide it onto the PDS... you can also chill the PDS if you want to.
Once is starts, it can be driven
gently into position with a brass punch.
Grease the bore, the pilot nose, the B/W splines..... and install it.
Insert both large expansion snap rings, install the 35x62x7mm seal.... done!
NOTE: since this PDS bearing is not serviceable, it makes little difference as to how the 35x62x7mm seal faces.... unlike with the double bearing PDS that
IS serviceable.... in which case the 35x62x7mm seal installs with the tension spring visible from AFT.
