53fl rebuild

Got it apart, got the jims bushing tool on the way, with a bushing reamer. Im supposing i should probably replace the cover bushing as well while im at it....if so i believe i'll need a special puller for that....
Im gonna clean up the cases, give it a good inspection....Any particulars to inspect/measure while Im at it? Thanks for any replies....

Snap-On has this blind hole puller that works well ...

Any pilot bushing puller will work..

Harbor freight has them.

They also have a cheap blind hole puller set..

Do you work for H.F.?

[confab]

No..

But I do own every blind hole bearing and race puller known to mankind.

(Including two sets from HF)

This set is german, I think?

What makes "Snap-On" so great is they come to you and allows you to make payments ...

(First time in about 12 years that I'm down to less than a Hundred $$ that I owe them .... Yippie ... !!)

Yeah, and the quality is good. The zero % truck financing can't be beat. It really is one of the last two, free things, in the world.

I have a tendency to buy their hand tools and things I know I will really give a workout. I use their scanners and PCM programmers.

Honestly though, for air and electric tools, their prices are so high and since they lack the lifetime warranty, I usually buy elsewhere.

Milwaukee makes great battery electric tools. IR and even some of the imported stuff is good for air tools.

I did buy their new tool less transmission jack. They gave me more for my trade in than I paid for it new and the 0% financing! I think I owe them about a grand or so at the moment.

Since the balances go up so fast with them, (A jack is 2400 bucks. A programmer is 18.. Even a ratchet is 120.) a good trick is a credit card with rewards points. Save the money, pay Snap On and everyone else on the card, then pay the card off. = Free vacations.

I took two weeks off and drove about 4K miles across the country and back, and every hotel was paid for along the way. That is the other free thing left in the world.
