Motor Bearing replacement tool?

Post by Keyz »

Inspired by aconsola's thread on the cool duratrax ballcup tool here http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4803

I thought I'd ask you chaps if anyone knows of someone/company/thing that makes a 540 brushed motor bearing replacement tool for the can and endbell bearings.

I've seen alum and delrin versions in the past, but no one seems to make them now?

Also keen to hear any suggestions on how to do it without any special tools and without damaging the inner race when putting in the new/refreshed bearings.

I've used a socket and extension from a 1/4" drive ratchet. I don't recall the socket size, but pick one that only touches the outer race. I don't think I've ever seen a specific RC tool for doing this, but something with a pin in the center to keep the bearing centered in the tool would be nice. I've got one for skate bearings.
