Pillion footpeg ball bearing and scuffed plastics advice

Recommended Posts

Any ideas how to get this stuck ball bearing out of the pillion footpeg? Have tried soaking in penetrating oil and it's currently soaking with tar and glue remover, which eats grease very effectively. Have tried a welding magnet but it's not strong enough. So suggestions welcome.

Also couple of plastic side panels scuffed/ scratched. Is rubbing down filling and spraying likely to be effective or any other suggestions on how to tart up?

Take the wheel out, put a piece of wood or something against the back and hit it! :lol:

 

:scratch: it's just the little ball bearing in the footpeg that gets pushed by a spring into a detent. Tis stuck int hole, see pics. :lol:

 

:lol: yes I know, hit the back (indirectly) the ball should fly out :thumb:


Don't hit the peg directly! It might crack

Id you have foot peg off have you tried a persuader? I would use piece of wood as punch and start with small hammer working your way up?


If peg is off the bike you could always try sticking it in the fridge or even freezer, or gently pressing it out in a vice...

Just be aware it might only come out of hole one way, hole could be conical in shape...

It’s in a hole with no exit has a small spring behind.

As an update, I've ordered a replacement from a breaker on eBay. Tried penetrating oil, heat, cold, even drilled a hole in from the other side and tried to tap out with a punch but nothing would budge it. I know when I'm beaten.
