Thanks for the advice. The CD says, if bearing won't release, and more verbiage like that. It sounds like the pullers and presses are pretty much needed all the time. The real bummer is a friend of mine from up North is driving by in a few weeks to give me a 10" South Bend Lathe! This would have been a super project to make the tools. I don't know if I can hold off that long though.

Once again, thanx for the advice so quickly!
