The power of bread!

Laverda Dave:
Thought I’d share a trick I learnt to do with bread and its power to act as a bearing removal tool where all else has failed!

I had to remove the blind gear shaft bearing from the TL125S to enable the cases to be vapour blasted. Nothing would shift the bearing and then I remembered the slice of bread trick. Basically you stuff bread into the blind bearing and tamp it down with the head of a suitable sized bolt. Keep stuffing bread into the bearing recess and eventually it will push the bearing out AND you have a handy snack when the job is done :)

If I hadn’t read something about this some time ago I would have been accusing you of taking the Micky Dave! 🤣  Brings a whole new meaning to using ones loaf!

Laverda Dave:
 ;D ;D
I couldn't believe it when it worked Johnny ::). A brand new bearing puller for 5p ;D

Johnny4428:
Unseeded of course! Wholemeal? 😜

Rozabikes Tim:
Crumbs. Good job it worked the bearing must be toast now!
