Re: 1968 suburban old carrier bearing removal from splined shaft…

It should come off with enough heat and a hammer and chisel. Maybe more heat and a bigger hammer. My standard hammer for something like that is my 2-1/2 lb machinist hammer.

If you have a die grinder with 2 inch or so disks you can get at it better than an angle grinder and cut almost through the bearing as far as you can without getting into the shaft or other part of the shaft and then use your hammer and chisel on that slot to pop the bearing apart. For me it is a lot easier to actually do it myself than tell you how.
