I use a drill press to drill a 1/4 hole part way in the retainer, then use a chisel at an angle to loosen it up. Then the bearing and everything comes off easy.

This sounds like something I will try on the second axle. This metal makes my chisel seem like it's made out of copper lol. USA craftsman too

DO NOT use a press to remove axle bearings. You can buckle/ warp the axle from the pressure.

Now THAT would suck!

Or....

You can follow the procedure in the FSM

Great info, thanks! There's some good techniques in there but certainly haven't seen that double bolt puller thing before
