Default Inner cam bearings

Hello everybody!!!

This weekend I've change the stock cams of my Fat Boy 2007 for an Andrews 26H.

I've put S.E. pushrods but I couldn't change the inner bearings, cause the inner bearing remover tool that I bought was not for TC 2007-up, so when I was trying to change them I just couldn't.

So I left the original ones... but it runs good by now.

Do you think I must re-open everything and chang the inner bearings? I have the Torringtons, and the instaler tool, just have to buy the instaler one... and the gasket again...

Thanks!!!!!

You can go to Auto-Zone and rent the Blind Spot Puller and it will remove those inner bearings. All you do is put down a deposit and the rental is free on the tool.

I would take it apart and replace those bearings.........the Torrington B-168 bearings are a whole lot better then the stock cheap-o's.

Since you know how to do it and have hopefully have adjustable pushrods I would recommend doing it when you have time. All you a have to do is take it back apart and pull the bearing...and then put it back together. Might as well. How many miles on the bike?

My bike have only 10000 miles, and yes it have adjustable pushrods.

But as you all said, I should change the bearings.

I bought my set at a local tool store called Competitive Products, they specialize in SK, OTC, and others...

The pic of the set came from Amazon...

OTC's Distributor Finder page is http://www.otctools.com/distributors/index.php

I just googled OTC Stinger 4581 and all kinds of hits come up...

Craigs List, eBay, etc

go checkout the blind hole bearing puller from Harbor freight. works great, and only $50. looks simular to the picture above...

i have the same issue, couldn't change the inner bearings (had the tools, but was sent B-148's), and am NOT looking forward to going back in just to change some bearings.
