how I remove a bearing

[ss]

I have managed to rescue 3 electrical tools when bearings failed. Probably teaching you lot how to suck eggs but this is how I get the bearing out, just in case it is useful for someone.

I use a large socket on the end that the bearing will come out so that it can fit inside the socket, I then get a slightly smaller socket at the other end, this is used to push the bearing out. I then line up and place in a vice and slowly push the bearing out by tightening the vice.

Why under wood glues??

And if the combined length of it all is wider than your vice will open simply use a long bolt of piece of threaded rod through the sockets. This method works well for void bushes as well perhaps substituting the large socket for a piece of tube.
