Makita LS1018L bearing replacement help.

[Raymond UK]

I have a Makita LS1018L mitre saw and the sliders are a little jerky now and then.

I have put some machine oil on the inside of the linear bearings a few months ago but it didn't last very long so I have ordered new linear bearings, dust rings and covers.

I've taken two bearings (left side) out, cleaned them as good as I can and put them back in. The single bearing seems to be stuck really badly. I have removed the grub screws on top that secure it.

I can't see a way to get a socket on it from the inside as the sliding arm lock screw is on that side. See picture

Any ideas on how to get this out?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Raymond, did you manage to remove that bearing? I'm having the exact same issue.
