I can’t get the spacers to come free off the bearing on my yyf grind machine. Any tip would help
You can try using a thumbtack and stick it between the bearing and the spacers in several locations. It should come off afterwards with a little elbow grease. Be careful of course!
I suggest plastic objects as the spacers are easily destroyed.
The thumbtack idea sounds great. Thanks.
Freeze it
Freeze it. Then, get a paint scraper. Slide the corner into the gap between the bearing and spacer then roll the assortment towards the middle, where the scraper is thickest.
