Saladin torsion tube removal


Aussie

Question

Next on my list of chores is to remove the hull housings from the old wheel stations. This involves removing the torsion tube and there is an extractor specified (FV 21894) but I don't have this. Can anyone help with a pic of the extractor, or dimensions, so I can make one? Or is there another way that folk remove them?

Problem solved! Failing FV 21894 I measured the diameter of the bearing and got a solid steel bar, 60mm diameter, then something solid to rest the housing against, a bit of heat and a heavy hammer, and out it came.

The bearing was very dry so doubt that a screw extractor would have worked anyway
