Suzuki GT750 Gearbox bearing removal

I bought a 7 dollar (72 Skr) bearing puller of likely chinese origin, worked just fine to pull both of the larger gearbox bearings. Installing the new bearings was easy. The output shaft bearing had a tighter fit and required more force both to remove and install. It turned out a used inner fork tube is great for driving the larger gearbox bearings in place (the smaller ones is a push fit by hand). I noticed a clear difference in smoothness when spinning the gears in the engine case with the new bearings. Before there was a slight metallic rumble that I hadn't realised was coming from the bearings.


Pulling input shaft bearing.
The puller could be turned by hand so the fit wasn't so tight.
This $7 puller was exactly right for the job.



Removing final drive bearing. Required more force to pull off but not excessive.
