    I believe you paid more than asking for the sv650 with the clutch switch problem and for an incomplete fzr250...

    Didn’t do too much today dues to the cold and the pain from my knee.
    I did get most of the bearings out of the engine cases but there are 2 blind bearings that my pilot bearing puller wouldn’t budge.
    Seems the little hook end doesn’t seat well enough because of the slight chamfer on the inner diameter
    I might have to grind the legs a bit so they can get more bite.

    I will try that tomorrow and if it doesn’t work I will worry about it after they are machined for the 350cc barrel.

    Heating the cases (until a match stick will burn when sat on the alloy) and smack them flat on a wooden bench will usually get them to drop out.

    What Murdo said or run a bead of weld around the inside of the outer race. As it cools it will contract and they will fall out. Another way is to weld a nut to the inner race and use a slide hammer (best to use this method if you are not real good at welding).

    I put special Tool "Webber Q2200" to work and after about 10 minutes the remaining blind bearings fell out.

    All good to go now for the machining. Might get over there later on tomorrow.

    I've put cases in the oven and some dropped out, the rest fell out when I tapped the cases down.
