Set the yoke in the arbor press with a piece of tube

stock beneath it. Position the yoke with the tube fitting

bearing up to prevent interference during disassembly.

Place a solid plug on the upper bearing assembly and

press it through to release the lower bearing assembly.

If the bearing assembly will not pull out by hand after

pressing, tap the base of the lug near the bearing

assembly to dislodge it.

To remove the opposite bearing assembly, turn the

yoke over and straighten the cross in the open cross

hole. Then carefully press on the end of the cross so

the remaining bearing assembly moves straight out

of the bearing cross hole.
