For any of you guy's that are going to do your own cam jobs, this is the type of bearing puller I used to do mine....The only deference was I payed $147.50 to rent mine and you can buy one here for $40. ..... Just giving you a heads up.... Ps. I also could buy it for the same price and at the time I decided to go that route.... figured I could rent mine out at $30 a pop so in time I could come out ahead I hope...HHAA This one is at Harborfreight.... Go to there web sight to download or print off the add ....

Appreciate this post very much guys, I'm gonna make the order.
Planning on the gear drive for my ugly 06RG while it's still cold out.

 

Yep, that is the same puller I used to pull my bearings out a couple of weeks ago, worked fine.

 

the same puller set is available on loan at autozone.

 

OK, I get that you can use a cheaper puller to get the inner cam bearings out, but what about installing the new bearings? I thought the inner bearing puller you rent or buy is also used to install the new bearings. What do you use?

Seems to me if that riddle is solved, most people could do their own camchest maintenance or upgrades themselves since you can use the oven freezer method on the cam to cam chest outer bearings.

 

You just tap the new one in with a bearing and seal driver( available at auto parts store) or tap it in with a socket(tap on the flat side of the bearing)

 

Would it be a good idea to put the bearings in the freezer for a bit before installing them in the case or is it something to not worry about?

 

Got it, I thought you needed some kind of special installer. Sounds pretty simple to me. I made bearing/seal drivers out of pcv pipe before. Yep, stick the bearings in the freezer a while, grease the outer edges with assembly lube, get them centered right and tap them in.

 

Autozone is where it cost me $147.50 to rent it....They would have givin me the money back or some of it in Grove City Pa...I elected to just buy a new one from them....
