<P>Does the web on the crank completely cover the bearing? I have removed a stubborn bearing by opening the jaws of a bench vise so it contacted the bearing and not the crank, then tapped very gently on the crank with a small hammer, with a piece of wood to protect the end of the crank. The bearing was stuck because of little corrosion. Once the crank was cleaned up the new bearing slipped on easily.
