Default bearing removal trick

Jacques,

I used that same technique to remove bearing cups on my rear axle some time ago. Very satisfactory little wrinkle!
Sure is a very dramatic and straightforward way to get em out. Due to the limited space to swing an arc rod inside the steering box case, and my slight but constant tremor, getting the cup out in that way would be........er........problematic. It's not requiring replacement though, and can stay put.

Usually it's the other way around. The most difficult parts are commonly the ones that have to come out/off.
