Homemade bearing/gear press

So I don't really have a champagne taste but I am on a beer budget. The only way to get the counter shaft outta a T5 case is to press it out (I didn't wanna chance cracking the case as often happens when other techniques are used)
So I built a press, it's simple but worked like a charm! Now I have to put it all back together!

that's a good one! Did you really do that? I think the hard part would be getting the powder to stick to the part>
