HI to everyone, I Have recently started a build on 700E and came across a stumble that I have had in the past . Is there any trick to getting the Inner and outer bearings out of main blade grips.Thank you another michigan flyer

Heat up the grip either in the oven or with a torch and then you should be able to push them out.

Heat gun works well also, It helps to wear gloves too...
On mine, the outer radial bearing practically fell out of the grip after heating it. The other grip took a bit more effort and I resorted to rapping the grip on a soft piece pine board to get the bearing to drop out.

This little torch is one of the best tools in my arsenal....

Now just need a nifty pair of gloves to use with it. Folded up paper towels work, but you better be quick. I ruined so many bearings trying to remove them before I got this....

Solder Station cranked up to 800 deg. Rest chisel tip on bearing for 2 min. Tap bearing out, done.
