il jump in here first,
find a dowel of very close size to the hole then pack the spigot bearing with grease then smack the dowel with appropriate hammer and out it pops !

That's what's Supposed to happen - In reality your there for hours getting covered in grease swearing and hitting things
your not meant to be hitting.
Finally you pull out the dremel and grind it out.

Yes, use the grease as a hydraulic fluid. What a fantastic idea. I shall file that away in my mind for use in the future.

Find a rawl stud (like a rawl bolt but with stud & nut) of appropriate size, Get several large washers that fit the stud. Insert rawl stud and
tighten nut (with washers fitted), then lever (preferably evenly with two opposing levers) behind the washers and hey presto out it comes.
locost spigot bearing removal tool No1.
Hope this helps. (PS when they have been REALLY stubborn I have used a gas axe to good effect).
Enjoy.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Try using Vaselene instead of grease (I'm talking about removal of a spigot bearing, here). I think it helps as its a bit thicker (getting into
all sorts of trouble now). A socket of the correct o/d with a extention bar inserted from the wrong end and a good, hard whack should do the job first
shot! I've removed a few & this approach always works for me

A small bead of MIG weld shrinks the bearing case just enough too!

grease has always worked for me. Needs to be a very close fitting "dowel", really a spare input shaft is ideal, that's what I always
have used, they are great clutch alignment tools as well!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
