All joking aside if you can get an edge of the race with the screwdriver you can lightly (and I mean lightly) tap the screwdiver and move around multiple areas of the race from side to side to get it to inch its way out.

its been tried

Heat it up then hammer them out.
That should work...

Is there any of the outer race exposed to get say a socket to fit the round so you can tap it with a hammer or is the race completely covered on one side?

Isnt heating it up hot enough to expand the aluminum going to distemper the heat treating especially at a critical point on the frame?

 

[dublindh]

theres nothing inbetween the bearing and the slot in the frame

could always contact Bill Heason (uk ancillotti importer) for some advice:

he's a great guy - though sometimes hard to get hold off

If you tried a hammer and it didn't work... try a bigger hammer

There are no Ancilloti frames over here, so no one is going to be familiar with your particular issue or bearing/frame implementation.

A pic might help, but in general, a puller can be made simply out of a bolt/nut/washers/sockets. I posted a crappy drawing of the general idea in the Sunday thread above.

Two different sized sockets (one the size of the bearing and the other larger than the bearing, and a vise does it well. I just did my stumpy this weekend and it worked like cake.

given your name i presume your in ireland.If you are send me a pm. The shop where i work has all the nesecary bearing removal equipment and will have it done in no time. It will save you alot of hassle and the posibility of damaging your frame. It can be a case of tapping them out with a hammer and using a socket set and extension bar to pop out the various sized bearings. However a propper bearing pullers makes light work of this.
