They make pilot bearing pullers that threads into the bearing and sqirts grease behind it and forces the bearing out. If you can't find one of those, you can accomplish the same effect by squiting as much grease as you can into the cavity behind the bearing and using a dowel thats a near press fit to the diameter of the bearing, give it a few whacks with a hammer. You'll have to stop occasionally to add more grease as the bearing starts to come out. It's messy, but has worked for me in the past when a mechanical puller hasn't.<br /> <br /> <small>[ 2013-04-11, 08:19 AM: Message edited by: wilit ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>68dustin</b> <br /><small>Member # 5388</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2013,3,11,8,22,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by wilit:<br /><strong> The best method is with hydraulic pressure.
