Removing Ball Bearings

plied against only one race (either inner our outer), the bearing
will be damaged during removal and must be replaced. If the
force is applied against both races (equally), the bearing can be
reused.
If the bearing is in a blind hole in the crankcase and cannot be
removed by hammering on the opposite side, remove it with a
bearing remover. For recommended bearing removers, refer to
the Tool Compatibility Table on page 1-18 and Chart on page
