I know I was thinking the same thing.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I will be removing it here soon. Been real lazy this weekend and had to keep the wife happy with a night out on the town so my free time was pretty much shot to hell this week.

Tell me more about this please...

How do you take it off and not nick the shaft? Do you still score it and just use the air hammer to break it?

Enquiring minds want to know. [emoji6]

a sheet metal cutting bit? an old one of course.
or a flat hammer bit.

thanks DC!

You heat up the inner race (after removing the outer) then zap the inner race with a pointy bit in your air hammer. The angle looks like it would never work, but it does, they always come right off. I use a mapp torch, acetylene setup is not necessary. And Bob is my uncle!

I don't even heat it. Knock the outer race off, put a chisel bit in the air hammer and push the inner off. Even if you do knick it a little, emery cloth cleans it right up. This is how I do every carrier bearing. Just think, the buses and limos I work on have 4-6 carrier bearings
