Hi Ed,
 
I took a rod long enough to fit through the laygear, turned it to fit in  
the small space inside the TRF long, press in, brgs (highly recommended).   I 
drilled and tapped the working end, then cut a slot (or X)part way along  
it.  A socket head cap screw head fastener, with the underside of the  head 
beveled to match a bevel in the tool.  
For the first brg, insert from opposite end till it is in the space inside  
brg. tighten fastener to spread tool, and apply copper hammer to other end 
of  tool. 
 
TR Regards,
Hardy

List,

B 

Has anyone found a tool  that extracts the TR4-TR6 laygear bearings
successfully? Horrible Freight  offers one, but I'm wondering if there is 
room
behind the bearing for it to  get a grip.

I've been using a Dremel to grind out the old  bearing shells, but it's 
tedious
work. I'd like to find a way to pluck them  out quickly.
