Hydrochloric acid to disintegrate rust to remove pin in bearing

[ryanmech]

Hello

I have a series of pins which have seized in a bearing.

Has anyone had experience with using Hydrochloric acid to break the corrosion between a pin and the inside of the inner race of a bearing? This has been suggested to me but i have had no experience with this practice.

We need to remove the pin to replace the bearing, but due to the location of the pin and bearing we are having trouble extracting the pin....

Thanks
Ryan

There has been some maintenance done on the website as of late, but i just tried it and it worked for me. It does however route thru to another webpage, so maybe try these if it still doesn't work.

Ryan,
Both url take me to a blank page.
Strange, I will try later.
Thanks.
I worked for Rotek Inc. and also
Timken and am curious what this
bearing looks like.
Sorry to be of so little help.

The newly routed webpage directs to a macromedia flash webpage, this may be the problem? This is a bit of a problem if persons cannot connect if they don't have flash. Hmmm

anyway if you are still interested, you could post your website address, and i could send the drawing?

Cheers
Ryan
