IPB removal having a problem
On my 2006, I am installing a Baker bearing in my inner primary and I can't get my original IPB out. I have a 1-1/2" socket and I have been hitting this thing pretty hard with a dead blow hammer and it isn't moving at all. Is there any trick to this? I am trying to hammer it out from the opposite side of where the snap ring was removed which is the clutch side. My service manual says to use an arbor press to remove and install it. The Baker Bearing instructions state to use an arbor press to remove it and a socket to install it. What am I doing wrong?

i did that job at home and i ended up taking the bearing to be pressed out and they pressed the new one in for me for 20 bucks
i say a small arbor press at harbor frieght the other day for 35 bucks and they actually had some bigger presses for pretty cheap

I read my original post and man do I look stupid. I read a bunch of posts where guys knocked them out with a socket and a hammer. I am just going to take it to the local machine shop and have them press it out and press the new one in to the new chrome inner primary I ended up buying today. I need them to tack weld the 8 compensator cup/rotor screws anyway.

you can use a socket and a hammer man, just heat that **** up really well first, put a larger socket under it and work your way around the outside... i have done many before

When you are driving bearings in or out, the surface that you are using to place the part on plays a huge factor in your results. I use a board laid out on a concrete floor. If you are trying to drive a bearing on a wooden work table, the table absorbs the shock.

One more question. I read numerous threads on this and many of them ask if they should remove both seals, 1 seal or leave both on. I need to know what both seals means because when I received my bearing from Baker part # 189-56 it came with 1 black seal. I checked online at other stores and all of them picture the package as 1 bearing and 1 seal. In the installation instructions Baker pictures and only mentions 1 bearing and 1 seal. What is this other seal everybody is talking about?
Also... the Baker directions state to remove both snap rings. One internal and one external. My IPB only has 1 snap ring. It was behind the seal that I had to pry off. The other side doesn't have a snap ring unless I am missing something here. My service manual doesn't mention 2 snap rings either. I would have thought it would have both but I only see one.
