1)  Soak bearing in CorrosionX, Penetrol or like.

2)  Take one bottle of Single Malt Scotch, open it.

3)  Pour and drink a dram.

4)  Try to remove bearing from housing.

5)  Did bearing release?  No?  goto 3). 
                                 Yes?   Congratulations,  goto 3)

6)  Repeat process as necessary until bearing is removed or bottle is empty.

Most times the bearing will refuse to yield, and the entire process from 1) to 5) will need to be repeated.
The procedure is self limiting: after the first bottle, most times I don't give a ship anymore and stop; after the second bottle I can't even scratch myself, let alone use fine hand tools   ;D

Slainte!

It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

I have to try this tomorrow. I unboxed a bottle of Glenlivet today.

I have not failed.  I just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.
