I always used to leave the spacer in the crank and just have the machine shop clean the hole out during polishing. This time I have my own setup to checkout main journal runout but the spacer sleeve with it's slot seem to interfere with dead centering on the lathe chuck. Anybody have a good method to remove this sleeve so I can get an accurate runout? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Looks like a slide hammer with a little hook on the end. You may be able to rent one from O'Reilly or Autozone. Couldn't quickly get the picture to save here, so have a link... It is the very first tool. http://www.directindustry.com/prod/skf-mai...813-427856.html Kevin |

I'll try and make something like the photo in the link. |

missed you guys at hershey.
How is the bike coming? For your question, make a small hook out of 1/8 plate steel and bolt it to the slide hammer... rich |

Thanks for the input guys. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
You inspired me to make an internal puller and it worked fine. I probably won't get many times to use it so if anybody wants to borrow it to remove the crank spacer sleeve PM me and I'll send it to you. |

Here's a pic I took today at the shop. Not very descript! I'll post some better pics tommorrow. |
