What is described in a sentence in the manual took me an hour of finsessing and jiggling. First time, I used a bolt; not as easy as it sounds and it helps to jiggle around the arm while doing this. The second time on the 380, I made a hook out of really strong piano wire used in making model aircraft landing gear with about a 1/16" sharp bend at the end to hook the other end of the bearing and pull it out. Putting it back in is not that easy either; I used a lettered drill bit just under the ID of the bearing to guide, and then pushed it in the rest of the way. Liberal amounts of oil will help. Relieving all pressure off of the arm is a big help (pull the chain back and away from the arm by wiring it to something above it on the intake manifold - MARK IT TO THE GEAR FIRST).
