Whats the best way to remove and instal bearings in the block I need to redo one in my axial 28,

Disassemble the whole motor first. Then get a torch and heat up the block ALOT. then simply tap it out. Actually I have simply heated it up to the point where it just drops out lol. I had it in a vice BTW. Before you install the new bearing be sure to put it in the freezer for a few hours so it can easy be put in place.

A heat gun will work, but i've found the best and easiest way is toss your block into the toaster oven at 350-400 Deg for around 5-10 mins...the bearings will either fall out or just need a small tap...

Hey Bubba where's Norval located? I have all the bearing removal and installation tools. Removing and re-installing your bearings would be a snap! For a large Timmies I'd gladly swap your bearings for ya.
