E325 - TT alu grip disassmebly...

[tomra]

I´m about to assemble a pair of aluminum grips (PV0803) on my Mini Titan. Grips come ready assembled and there´s no indication telling if the thrust bearings are lubed or not. I have tried to push out the radial bearing on the blade side but it just won´t come out.

Does anyone have experience with this set of grips and disassembly of them? If so...did your grips come with lubed thrust bearings? Did you need to apply a lot of heat in order to get the bearings out? Is heating aquired in order to get them back in (won´t that dry out the grease?). Would usng the back of my soldering iron work ok as a heating source?

Any first hand experience comments is appreciated!

Thanks.

Mine just came out after a little knock from a 3mm hexdrive, they were lubed, but one was assembled the wrong way, cup facing blade. It appears as if TT used some bearing loctite for assembly, so maybe a little heat will do the trick as well.
