Lower bearing replacement question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have the intermediate shaft out and everything out of the way but the bearing isn't coming off....is it pressed on or just glued on from 30 years of rust? special tools used or ideas appreciated. otherwise i'll soak it with PB blaster tomorrow before work and try again when I get home.

thanks,
russ

I think it's a interference fit. However all the rust doesn't help. try a small gear puller. I had to hacksaw the outer shell and rubber off to get a good hold with the puller.
