What foams are you running in those sedonas? How did you get such a clean cut?

I had my bearings come loose in my Dlux v2 knuckle weights.
Bearings are held in tight with red loctight when you receive them from Eirk. So really wasn't a big deal they came loose. Removed my knuckle weights so I could reloctite my bearings in the bearing pockets.
I must have gotten generous with the Loctite (green).
After letting everything dry over night both my inner bearings 10x16x4mm each side were seized/Frozen... Luckily I was able to unseize 1 side. However the other side was a different story... if there was an easy way to remove the bearing I couldn't think of it at the time.
The way I remove my inner bearing from the knuckle trying not to destroy it.
I used a small file and small drill bit to modify the bearing pockets. From the small bearing side i had to create a Groove all the way to OD of inner bearing to tap the bearing out.
Destroyed the bearing in the process but I believe I saved the knuckle weight. Waiting on new bearings.

So now what's the easy way I could have removed the inner bearing?
I should mentioned I tried heating knuckle/bearing also tried tapping large bearing out from small bearing side (small bearing removed). By tapping on the ID of large bearing this is how I destroyed the large bearing LMAO. On a good note the green locktite should keep the bearings from ever becoming loose again."thumbsup"
Maybe I just didn't let it get hot enough?
Yes green. When I get my new bearings I think I'll just put 3 tiny dots on outer edge of the bearing.
Green :shock:

:lmao: Right! Green is sleeve retainer grade that doesn't release till upwards of 1000*. Have I used it when the situation calls for it? Absolutely but red will hold a bearings in place and will come loose when you use too much on that knuckle bearing and lock up the bearing. Yes I really did exactly the same as tapped-out a couple weeks ago doing the exact same thing but it was red so it broke free. "thumbsup"
