[QUOTE="Zenith, post: 1005994, member: 21314"] Yep it can definitely be done without a press, I've never used one. Well the shell is usually a U shape (as in it has edges that come up), but if those rings you were talking about are actually the sides of the shell broken off that will make it more difficult. With the shell intact I'd usually find a couple of washers just a bit smaller then the outside of the shell, bolt them together and use them and a hammer to drive the shells out. You will need to heat the linkage around the bearing with a blow torch before you start using the hammer. They should pop out. If you have a load of different washers, nuts and bolts you can also make up a puller to pull the shell out by tightening the nuts. This is hard to explain but it should be obvious what I'm getting at. Now if the edges are gone off the shells so you're just left with the thin piece of metal it will be more difficult. I doubt you'll find a washer the exact right size to get behind this. The only way I could do it before was to use a hacksaw to cut the shell. You need to be VERY careful not to damage the linkage itself, but as soon as you cut through the shell it will pop out easily... [/QUOTE]
