Trying to replace the bearings on my planer cutter head. I was able to remove the one on the pulley end of the cutter head using a 3 jaw gear puller.
The bearing on the other end is pressed into a recess in the gearbox case. The cutter head shaft goes through the case and seats into the bearing.
The instructions from Grizzly say to insert a screw into the end of the shaft and tap with a hammer to slide the shaft out of the bearing. I have tapped, pounded and pleaded with it, but it will not budge. I sprayed the shaft with penetrating oil yesterday and tried to tap it out. When that didn't work I sprayed some more penetrating oil and let it sit overnight. Tried again this morning and still no luck.
