Default RE: TT .46 Pro problem.

since we've seemingly moved off the topic of TTpro .46 issues and onto bearings and changes, I have a question.

I have a couple of Taipan gold head .15's from days gone by. I ordered new bearings (from rc-bearings) and have yet to put the engines back together, as the rear bearings just WON'T come out.

I've tried oven and torch, neither is doing the trick. If I remember correctly, the inside diameter of the bearings is 10mm for the rear bearing. Does anyone know of a good, not too expensive bearing puller that might help (coupled with heat) to remove these VERY tight fitting bearings?

I don't want to spend a fortune, as I doubt I ever run the engines much, so I won't ever need to do this again. But, I would like to put new bearings in them in the event that I ever DO want to run them.

I've replaced many a set of bearings, and NEVER had any that were this reluctant to be removed.

Thanks!
