Remove Bearing in XR Gears?
 

Does anyone know how to remove the roller BEARING ASSEMBLY in the gears of a Bravo XR upper? I want to replace them but I have been told there is no way to get the old ones out. Someone on here has to know how to do it.

Thanks

You will destroy them, but they will come out. I carefully go around the edge of the bearing with a small chisel and fold the edge in.

The other option is to raise a portion of the lip so that you can remove a few of the needles. Once you get about 10 of them out, you can use a jaw puller under the rest of the lip to pull it out. Only raise a small portion of the lip so the rest stays intact so the puller has something to grab. You are just removing enough needles to make room for the puller to grab.

I normally use the chisel and it works fine. Just be patient.

Thanks for the help. Being patient is not a quality of mine, but I will give it a shot.
