I'm rebuilding a 1942 10ee Round Dial back gear and have a question for those that have done it before. How do you remove the bearing closest to the main reduction gear without damaging the gear or shaft? The gap between the gear and bearing is almost nonexistent.

If all else fails, use a death wheel to make a cut as large as possible in two places and finish fracturing the ring with a chisel……remove the cage and balls, repeat for the inner ring!

I drove a couple of small pry bars into the gap 180 out from each other and it popped right off. Don

I'm unsure why you cannot get a bearing splitter in there to remove that bearing, there's a radius on the outer ring, that should be enough to room to get a proper size splitter in there?
