2. Set the yoke in the arbor press with a piece of tube
stock beneath it.
Place a solid plug on the upper bearing assembly and
press it through to release the lower bearing
assembly.
3. If the bearing assembly will not pull out by hand after
pressing, tap the base of the lug near the bearing
assembly to dislodge it.
4. To remove the opposite bearing, turn the yoke over
and straighten the spider in the open hole. Then
carefully press on the end of the spider so the
remaining bearing moves straight out of the bearing
spider hole. If the spider or bearing are cocked, the
bearing will score the walls of the spider hole and ruin
the yoke.
5. Repeat this procedure on the remaining bearing to
remove the spider from the yoke.
6. Make sure of proper position for reinstallation by
applying setting marks, then remove spider .
