Re: Bearings for Wellgo B27 Pedals

Over a year has passed since your last update, any chance of a status
check?

Do you still have the pedals? Are they still holding out...

I've replaced the bearings on my B-27s 3 or 4 times. But this last time
may be the last. I can't get that outer race out at all. Usually they
crack a couple times, so I am able to "finagle" it using a tool I made
from a fork. But this time it cracked in two cracks that were 1/8 inch
apart, so even after removing the small chunk, the remaining 9/10ths of
the outer race is still stuck inside. I can rotate it with a
screwdriver, but it aint coming out for nothing. :(­

I have 5 or 6 replacment bearings that I can't use unless someone has an
idea. Maybe my dremmel? Actually, the dremmel will probably mess up
the aluminum if I slip up.

I've decided the best thing to do is replace it before it disinigrates
into metallic dust mixed with goopy grease. You will know it's dust
when the pedal falls off onto the ground. But I'm usually miles from
the car or tools when it starts to go. I guess replacement every few
months or so would be the best thing to do... whether or not it needs it
yet. At a buck or two a bearing, why not for a little peace of mind.

Anyway, anyone have that killer idea for gutting out that outer race?

John,

I had a similar situation one time that I replaced one of the bearings.
What worked for me was to find a sturdy scew-driver (one with a fairly
small and straight tip) and place it on the stuck piece of the bearing
and tap it with a hammer to manually break the bearing piece. I did
this in like 2 or 3 locations and it finally came out in pieces and
didn't hurt the pedal, or at least I didn't notice anything.

I hope this helps if you are still having troubles. Other than that
idea I would at least try the dremmel idea, just be careful. If you
damage the pedal a little it shouldn't hurt it, just don't make a large
mistake.

One quick question for you, where did you get your bearings? I am
almost out and cannot get them through my last contact.

Good luck!

Brian

I just got a tube off ebay recently. They've been popping up from time
to time.
