Harbor freight slide hammer

[Colorado Mike]

This thing saved my butt on getting a transmission bearing out of a YZ. 3 of the bearings can be pressed out from the opposite side, but one sits in a blind hole. With no way to pull it out, I got a HF slide hammer kit: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/d ... umber=5469

It includes a bunch of attachments to do various things. One of which was the ability to rig up a couple of inside hooks to grip the inner bearing surface.

I got my kid to hold the case down against a flat board while I worked the slide hammer. Two pops and it came right out. it might work on wheel bearings as well, have to see about that. I thought it was a made little rough, but definitly worth the $18 I paid and far cheaper than the nicer ones I saw on the web.
