Default req advice: removal of shaft from casing (stubborn)


"tg" wrote in message
...
I'm trying to remove a pivot shaft from a casing and I'm not having much

luck. At:
http://www.zen73857.zen.co.uk/shaft/shaft.htm
there are pictures to make things clearer. Is there a tool I can use to

pull this shaft out? What kind of material could I use as
vice jaw protectors, but will still grip the shaft?
Thanks for any help.


The casing looks like aluminium. If you heat it it will expand more than the
steel and the bearings will loosen off. A 2 jaw vice is pretty much useless
for gripping anything round. A drill chuck will do a better job.
