yep i had to use a hydralic press. i got lucky and beat one out but the other i had to press it out. an 18mm craftsman socket is the perfect size to use as a press tool. it was the 1/2 in drive took like 2000lbs to get it to move. nother tip, put a little pressure on it and LIGHTLY tap the swing arm around the bearing the vibes should help pop it loose.
