Here is a pic of the oc-4, would like to replace the tapered roller bearing in the pic. But I can not find a puller that will work.
The bearing feels good but had a broken axle would feel a lot better if I could get this bearing replaced.
some people have said to brake the rollers out, use my welder, welding a bead around the race of the bearing and it will come off, there must be an easyier way, there must be a puller that will work for this ap?

Take a sharp chisel whack at at it a couple times it will split and come right off. Make sure you whack the right part.....
 
This is what you would need to pull the bearing you would have to have one machined if you need it.

The inter race fits over the brake drum. So I have to pull from the out side of the bearing, but the back side of the bearing is very close to the brake drum.
 
Griz, that is what that puller will do. it fits behind the bearing only needs 1/32"
behind bearing. and fits the taper of the bearing cage.
 
I would like to replace the outer axle bearings on my OC-4. After removing the 4 flange bolts behind the axle flange I thought the axle would slide right out, but no such luck:( Is there an internal release for the axle shafts, or do you just need to give them a good jerk??
 
Ok, I got them to come out. It just took a little more force than I first thought. Bearing look ok, but the seals were leaking so I migh as well replace them while everything is apart:) Griz, thanks for your advice in the previous posts!
 
I still have a piece of bearing stuck in my axle. I havent tried to get it out for a week or so now. I need something to place behind it and punch it out from the back. Not in a hurry since I am nowhere near putting everything back together.
