      In the Pochefamily.org/outboard/carburetorservicing site, David Poche mentions a blind bearing puller
      for extracting brass cylinders from primer in H & T Johnson motors. I haven’t found a way to send
      question to David Poche, but have great difficulty pulling these brass cylinders. He says they
      are expensive but work well and I would like to explore. Does anyone know where I could
      check into finding one of these? There is a photo in his writeup.

        I don’t know about Dave’s blind bearing puller, but one can usually pull a blind brass or bronze bushing by screwing in a suitably sized tap and pulling that , or then insert a stud and pull on that. Of course you then must replace the "screwed- up " bushing.

          A blind bearing puller passes though the ID of the bearing, with a pair (or trio) of wedge-shaped fingers that are expanded, wedging the fingers between the bearing’s inner race and the bottom of the bore. Then either a tension screw or slide hammer is used to extract the bearing.

          I believe there is also a type which expands directly within the ID and grips the sides.. ultimately, it’s all a matter of obtaining proper purchase on the part to be removed, and these devices have their limits.

          ETA: Also, this method tends to damage or ruin the bearing, as it pulls on the ID which is never desirable. In the case of the thin-wall brass insert in the Johnson carbs, there’s a good chance it will slightly distort but not totally wreck the part. All depends on how much force is required, obviously.

            Can you use the heavy grease and hammer method like we do removing needle bearings from K Merc gear boxes?

                That looks like a worthy tool for a number of jobs. Like pulling the drive shaft bearing out of a Big Twin.

                    Thank you Mumbles. I have tried Princess Auto – for the special price thru July 5th – but they are apparently closed
                    today. I will go to Amazon. Everyones help is appreciated. I hope this Blind Bearing Puller works.
