How to get this bearing out

They aren't worth the money. Weren't even worth trying. The second link is quite a bit more money but they look a hell of a lot better quality than harbor freight ones.
I had a friend at a machine shop remove mine. I told him I didn't care how he got it out as long as my case was still usable.

The harbor freight one is junk for sure. mine was given to me and I do the dance of joy every time I successfully pull a bearing with it.

LOL! You are much braver than I. I was afraid of breaking something important with that junk.
Polar-Bus:
You don't need a bearing puller. Place the case half in the freezer overnight. Then quickly heat up the case around the bearing and slam the case (bearing facing down) off a wood block. The bearing will fall out. You might need to do this a few times if it's a really tight fitted bearing. I've done tons of bearing with this method. If that cluch bearing resides deep in it's bore, it might be a challenge, but this method is "free" so you got nothing to loose by trying !

Thanks guys, i already got it out.
Just milled a gap into the bearing (carefully).
The inner basket and needles had already been removed.

[/quote] I Know :lol:. I'm a real fan of quality tools but a buddy brought over and engine cas and wanted me R&R all the bearings for him. I told him I wouldn't do it with out a blind bearing puller and he showed up with that POS. One thing I can say is you need to grease the pllers before use. Grease the pin that gets driven between the fingers of the piece of the puller the goes into the bearing. Also make sure you get the puller fairly snug in the bearing the first time we tried we didn't have the puller very tight and it pulled right through the needle bearing. It didn't hurt anything but the puller, I think it happend because the metel the puller is made from is so cheep. I have cut them pesky needle bearings out more then once and I'm over it. At the price of new cases It is not worth the risk.
