Bumping this up because I'm following @Van 's great write-up and am at the point of drilling out the front bearing backing plate screws. Before I do, I wanted to see if anyone has been able to remove the bearing without drilling. It sure looks like that's the only safe way to do it, but there's that mental hangup of not wanting to drill something that wasn't designed to be drilled. Anyone used an alternative method? I have a couple spare cores so am willing to experiment within reason.
TIA |
