Hi All,
I wanted to replace my old cups n' cones with shiny new Timkin's on my '49 A7, however, the cups have a smaller inner diameter than the neck tube so there is no way I can get any purchase on them to drift them out. Also there's about a 1/8" length of threading on the inside of the cup... does anyone know if this is for a removal tool? I've never heard of a bsa bearing cup removal tool, that'd be a new one for me.
I've read that the most common means of getting out pesky cups is welding a bead to it (which I'm not comfortable doing as I'll probably do more damage than remedying) or cutting and chiseling the pieces free... either way not ideal.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tedzo
