How do you hold the pinion gear when pressing the gear off?

Re: Best way to remove fisher price pinion???

I used a hammer and cold chisel, split the gear in half lengthwise, very quick and easy. Support the gear on a big chunk of solid metal like the anvil part of a bench vice or a heavy welding table, put the chisel in the space between the two topmost teeth, and give it a good whack with a big hammer.

Needless to say the gear will not be useable after this operation.

See my previous post in this thread with the picture of the plate. Best way we've found to hold it.

Re: Best way to remove fisher price pinion???

OHHH I just did this yesterday for the first time xD

So... We made a plate that fit on the shaft under the pinion. We cut that little plastic spacer off. A 1/8" Steel plate w/ a slot went right in.

We put another plate in, and used a shop press to press the motor off the pinion.

We have a fixture that we use. I can post a picture of it tomorrow.

We did the same (with the plate). It was a 1/8" steel plate with a slot cut in it for the motor to slide into. Then we used a hardened nail (don't ask, I have no clue where it came from) and ground it down until it was small enough to touch only the shaft. Then we used an arbor press to press the pinion off.

With that being said, I will join the others who used a nutsplitter - they're wonderful.

Cory: I very much appreciated your response in your previous post. It saved me the time that would have been lost in ordering the Banebots puller to find it didn't work (I had it in my cart on their site). I suspect the longer pinion gear is just too much for the hobby puller to handle. We have an arbor press, and your aluminum fixture would be a great solution, but we have to borrow machine shop time and it would likely take a couple of days to get built. The slotted steel plate looks like a workable situation that could be made with basic hand tools, though it doesn't provide as secure a hold on the pinion. Maybe after build season?

Squirrel: Your solution as well as the nut breaker would work. We'll need to do the same thing with an RS550 motor and plan to reuse that pinion, so need to have a way to remove them without destroying them. By nature I am a pack-rat and it seems like somewhere/sometime we'll have a need for a 19 tooth gear (I have boxes of this kind of stuff), so I'll advise not destroyinng it.

Thanks to all for the flurry of responses. I'll offer these as suggestions to the team and let them decide how they want to do it.

Martin

Re: Best way to remove fisher price pinion???

Here are the pictures of what we use to take the fisher price pinions off with. We made this out of aluminum.

Very nice! What's the thickness of the part that goes under the actual pinion? And I assume you guys have an arbor press as well? Or would a drill press work with this tool?

We do use an arbor press. A drill press is not a very good option unless it's last resort. The actual part that goes under the pinion is made of steel(unlike what I said earlier) and the rest is made of aluminum(like I said earlier). The actual thickness that goes under the pinion is 0.085". This works really well for us.
