Installing some new Avid Drivers on my driveshaft and decided to change out the Bearing on the driveshaft. I have not been able to remove the bearing no matter what I do. Any tips/ideas/suggestions??
Driveshaft Bearing Removal??

SPEEDO BEARING REMOVAL
I use a pitman arm (front end steering linkage on a car) puller.
A small gear puller should work,
I usually place a small socket over the speedo drive to protect it and run the puller up against that small socket.
I suppose you could try an air chisel, since you're tossing the old bearing out.
On the drive wheels, I usually make a hacksaw blade light cut next to the stock wheels prior to removal for reference, and 8 7/8" center to center on the new ones.

just use a good press and a quality bearing separator. ur gunna need it to change drivers anyway. Bearings get a tad rusted/locked to shaft so sometimes they need a pretty good shove to move. Had one that took all of 20 tons to get her off of there..but shaft was a ok

those bearings get so much abuse its a good idea to change them every couple years anyway. That makes them easier to get off.
Arbor press works well on the less than stubborn ones if not something with a bit more pressure. I have beat them off with a hammer before too.:face-icon-small-win
