As some of you might remember, I've been wanting to obtain a Whirlpool Belt Drive centerpost bearing tool (Robinair tool #14857) for a LONG time. Today, I finally got one! One of the service techs who patronizes the appliance parts store where I work was downsizing and wanted to get rid of it. My tool has both the upper mandrels (for one and 2 seal washers). The problem is I'm missing the bearing puller mandrel (Robinair #14510). I looked around online and found replacement bearing installation mandrels, but I can't find anything on the bearing and seal puller. Anyone know of a source of a replacement puller mandrel?

Is there a work-around for this?
Dave

Try Larry at Modern Parts in Parma OH. He may want a decent deposit due to their expense, but it's worth a try--(216) 539-0706

BEARING INSTALLER

Hi Dave are you talking about the lower bearing installing mandrel? or a tool to remove the old bearings from the center post?

Clarification.

I've got all the stuff needed to install the bearings and seals, but not the stuff necessary to remove them.

Is it possible to replace just the upper seal(s) and leave the bearings and lower seals alone?

Dave

WP BD BEARING REMOVEAL TOOL

Dave the removing tool did not come with the installation tool. Few re-builders ever bothered getting the bearing removal tool. We have the removal tools and they are even more useless that the MT brake removal tool in my experience. One they usually will not work on badly worn bearings, two an old BD agitator shaft and a sledge hammer always works.
