<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.

all,<BR><BR>What's the best way to remove a rear bearing that's stuck on the
