I have a 1956 Mark V Greenie complete system, and a 1954 Greenie headstock that I will start to refurbish later this month. I am building the correct tools for the correct job what type of bearing puller works best when removing bearings? I have searched and seen all different kinds looking for some experience with bearing pullers with the older parts.

Thanks

This is the one I used, worked great. http://www.harborfreight.com/bearing-se ... 62593.html

I have the same one, well mine is in a red case but that is about all that is different.

Keep in mind you can always get 20% off with a coupon, and sometimes a 25% off. They, the coupons show up a lot of places or sign up and get their mailings if you don't already get them, plenty of tools I would not get from them but this is one that has worked for me.

Thanks for the feedback.

HF version above gets my vote as well.

Agreed. It works well for me.

Thanks all for the feedback greatly appreciated as I try my hand at refurbishing and rebuilding the old headstocks.

I see this will work as a puller. Will this work as a press? I just thought once I get the bearings off how do I get them back on? Sorry haven't started the tear down that is about two weeks away. So questions come at random times.

Yes it will.
