I bought a nice looking tool off Amazon, but can't get it to work.

Tool goes into the bearing with some pounding from my palm. When I go to take it out everything seems great, but the tool doesn't pull the bearing out. I put the tool into the bearing and then I insert the rod to keep it from collapsing, washer and nut.

Is there a way to get this to work? Am I missing something?

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

First off, welcome aboard from Old Cape Cod.......

Second of all, what tool did you buy and is it for your year and model bike?

What year and model bike do you have?

What tool did you buy?

 

Thanks for the quick replay!

I have a 2009 HD Softail Heritage Classic w/ a stock 96" motor.

The tool is a , it comes with two different pullers and installers. I am using the larger puller as the smaller isn't even close.

 

Is this it?

Would be wary of a tool that proclaims to pull inner bearing and also automatically adjust tension on the primary chain..........china made junk

 

Cant help ya if ya don't reply!

 

I have a similar tool made by Heartland. There should be an audible snap when the collet pushes through the bearing. In between uses, I have to spread the tangs on the collet to get it to grip. Might wanna try running a file around the lip of the collet to make sure the grab surface is not to smooth.

 

I bought this exact tool to do the inner cam bearings on Reaper last summer. Worked like a charm.

Cheers!
