Removing axles on a Threaded Super Diff

[pantydropper]

I have to take my stock length axles off since I narrowed my rear end 5". I got my axles & super diff laying on my work bench. When I took the side plates off, one of the bearing came off with it. In order to punch out the roll pins I have to press off the bearings. How do i go about pressing off the other bearing with the axle still in place??

I use a blunted chisel and a big hammer to drive the bearing off.

Jeremy, everything you do is blunt, and usually to the point.

2 long screw drivers or pry bars. Just have a friend help you.
It will pull right off. If you start hammering on things, it will put flat spots on the bearing races.

A plastic mallet will remobe the other side that has nothing to lever against.
I use my favourite tyre levers on the left side.

I have never put any kind of dent or flat spot on the races. I am hitting more down than out. Just to get it moving, I do pry it on the ring gear side though. I can't imagine how ass wild you would have to get on those bearings to put a flat spot on them. They are very stout and HARD.

Never Beat on a bearing! I have been in bearing industries for years. That's one thing you are told not to do, pry and pullers are ok. Beating with bearings is a big NO NO. Just my 2 cents I am sure many will tell it's ok to beat on them but why take a chance on failure due to some thing that you can control.

Thanks guys! I thought it was going to take more force then it did to take it off. I just used a brass punch on the inner race to smack them off. Those bearings seem they can take a bigger pounding then my brass punch can.
