Default RE: Bearing removal

Warm the case up with a heat gun until is it just slightly uncomfortable to touch with your bare hand. Then gently tap the bearings out. Never tap so that the force is carried through the balls of the bearing if it is a bearing that you might want to use again. In other words, to tap the ones out of the case, tap on the outer race only. If you tap one onto a crankshaft to reinstall it, tap only on the inner race.
