1G Transfer gear Bearing removal ideas???

[SasaniFab]

Ok guys all of my parts are in, im at the point now were im getting to install these transfer gears. The only issue im having is this gear has a very deep section and you cant get a bearing puller in. I don't think you can buy these bearing anymore. Unless one of you guys cross referenced the bearing. I think im going to throw the gear on a Bridgeport and mill out a channel from the inside and release it that way.

How'd you end up getting the bearing off the driven gear? Were you able to source new bearings at all?

Darn I'd offer to buy one off ya, but I just put an order in for a new bearing from TMZ. Did you re-use the roller bearings on the drive gear?

Yup, Unfortunately I was unable to source those also. At least those bearings look easy enough to remove like you did. Just curious, since I have not pulled my stock gears yet, are those two larger bearings the same size?

The are the same size but are different. One bearing has a groove in its outer face.
