Is there any way to get the race back against the snapring after rebuild? The small brass punch bends, dont want to use the metal one, tried tightening on the axle with no success. What did you do? I know it needs to be back up against the snapring.

Outer 14b race against snapring?
- Thread starter KohlTrain
- Start date
I use a large socket on the inner race of the bearing and carefully press the bearing and outer race back against the snap ring.
When i'm at work i use the press otherwise i use the BFH and it doesn't take much to move it (assuming you did not drive the race way past the snap ring groove).

Use a regular punch. It is way softer than the race.

Thanks Scott, this worked. I used an appropriate size race/ seal driver against the bearing. I would have done this sooner but I didnt think you were supposed to drive a race with a bearing intended for use.
You can potentially damage a bearing and or race by "beating on it" but if you're careful about it most times you'll be ok. There isn't much for other options in this case.

There is nothing wrong with using a punch on a bearing race. Hence why Snap On sells a "Bearing Race Punch" set. I love those punches, I use them all the time on bearing races.

Unless you cant get a punch on the race....like when trying to get it back against the snapring.
