Rut Row......

puller.JPG Maybe a puller like this will remove it? Need something to keep upper end of rollers in place. Probably wreck the bearing any way you do it.
 
Actually, that bearing is the trial/dummy and it slips on and off. Luckily, the new bearing was only .0003 tight because I went the wrong way on the shim adjustment when the new bearing was thrown on and was able to press it off using a clam shell to get it off without messing it up. Kinda funny that I've been using this same setup bearing for years and have never had to make a shim adjustment before. Also, was surprised that the new bearing was only .0003 tight. Years ago my press would not move a pinion bearing at all (was just trying to get it off) so went to a local shop that had a 50 ton press and man, that thing grunted. Turned out the bearing was .005 tight!! When I saw the gauge getting close to the red, I left the room and then POW and felt the vibration in the floor. It actually pulled some metal from the pinion. Oh well.
