[Spridgets] Crankshaft Spigot bearing removal

[Daniel1312 at aol.com]

The crank has a spigot bearing for a Spridget gearbox but the gearbox I'm 
going to use is a Ford based 5 speed that has a spigot adaptor and it's own 
spigot.  The spigots are not the same size.

So before I can use the spigot for the Ford box I need to get the one for the 
Spridget box out.
