Drive center bearrring removal

[shanon]

Howdy E9ers,

I have my driveline on the bench and separated. I have removed the cir-clip on the center bearring and want to know how to remove the actual bearring?? Is this a shop/dealer thing or??? is it a tap/whack until it slides off??

Help!

it'll come, eventually.

Clean the shaft, use pen oil.

I'm with Honolulu. You're replacing it, no point in being nice to it. I usually cut the rubber and pull the support off, then you can get to the bearing easier.

BFH beats a special tool any day. 8)
