Tech Tip - Getting the Spigot Bearing Out (when you don't have a bearing puller)

[Mr DOHC]

candle's would work instead of grease/soap/paper too

Just 1 more way to pop the spigot bearing out. Grease seems to be a bit too fluid, I had some spare body bog, squeezed that in, and knocked a bolt in, and out pops the bearing.

Last 1 honestly, most of us have bought a cheap Chinese/Taiwanese socket set, c'mon dont lie. They cost a few bucks and get you out of trouble. This last method employs the 3/8" ratchet, you know the one, it has a knurled handle. Well that knurled handle is a nice interference fit into most toyota spigot bearings. God I wish I had a digicam, because I still have a spigot bearing firmly wedged onto one of those ratchets. Just tap the handle into the bearing, nice and firm, and then wiggle the bearing out.
