Marvelous! Another sticky for you, Rob!

P.S. Love the background music - always a sucker for acoustic, ever since I heard Segovia many, many, years ago and the Romeros in the late '80s .

nice work. interesting way you remove the old bearing. I have managed to just pound them off by soaking in ATF, heating with a torch and pounding it off (a lot of work but it can be done). Your way is easier if you have the puller, a press can also be used if you can fit the axle in it to push on the end.

The FSM tells you to take a steel chisel to the keeper to remove it. Apparently it is soft steel and when you pound a sharp edge into it it will kind of stretch it enough so it falls off without having to cut it. I have done it, but it requires a nice big vise, a good quality heavy steel chisel and a sledge, and a lot of pounding. Most shops I know use a hydraulic press to push it off, like the bearing.
