gvthnks Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 are you trying to get the bearing off the axle shaft or off the carrier? Either way, I've had good luck cutting through the inner race with a die grinder. You won't get all the way through because of the shoulder, but when you get most of the way through, you can take a good hard chisel and hit it in the cut you've made. That almost always causes the inner race to split apart or to loosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howeitsdone Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Dunno the height of the 20t but I have the 12t and it's too short for a rear axle. Grab their bearing separator kit while you're there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghetdjc320 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 They normally just cut through the bearing retainer then break it off. The non c clip D35 uses the same bearings as the D44 of that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
