Good look.

Either a bearing puller of the grease method.

Ive never had any look with the second method.

Pack some grease in the hole, then find a round object that just fits in the hole, and hit it with a hammer.
Grease is pressurized and forces the bearing out.

Make a dowel out of wood or something tat fits just inside of the bearing. Fill the hole with grease and wack the dowel ii the hole full of grease and the bearing will end uo on the dowel. ( IT DOES WORK)

I just knew a hammer would come into it

As a matter of interest do you have to grease the new bearing or just put it in as is

I would smear a small amount on bearing when fitted by sticking finger in hole and twisting it around like you do

not for me it didn;t but I used a hardened punch - at one point I was the owner of engien fit f***ked spigot bearing with a hardedn steel punch stuck in the end that could not be removed!!

I used a dremel stone to split the race, then hammer and chisel to finish it
off.

If you are reasonably handy with the welder then break the inner race and balls out of the bearing, then run a bead of weld around the inside of the outer race. As the weld cools it will contract and shrink the bearing and it should lever out easily.

If you're not 100% confident with the welder then don't try this also remeber to put the earth straight on to the flywheel.

US the grease Method. but the "Dowel" or Punch need to be quite a snugg fit to the spigot or the grease is forced out between the punch and the spigot.

Used this several times adn works beautifully. Or just use a dremel and time to cut it out.

I would be wary of the "welding Method" as this may damage the crank shaft seal if it gets too hot. Then you end up with oil in the bellhousing and a Kanckered clutch etc.

i used a length of studding and a two nuts.
grind nut 1 so it just slips through bearing. then catch the edge of the nut with the outer race. Put a large nut over the the studding and push to flywheel face. Put a washer and nut, tighten nut, and it will pull the bearing out.

I've successfully used the grease method.
Got covered in grease!
What should work is a rawlbolt & a long setscrew - the rawlbolt goes inside the bearing & the long screw first expands the rawlbolt to grip the bearing, then pushes it out as the screw reaches the bottom of the hole.

I tried the grease method on the RAW supplied spigot bearing for 4AGEs but as its quite thin the grease just shot out between the ball bearings!

So I used a combination on the last two suggestions of a length of studding three nuts, a washer and a rawl bolt.

Got it out this afternoon but what a b*gger. Grease didn't move it at all had to resort to a Dremel and chisel, 3 hours! Personally I'd borrow a proper bearing puller next time.
