Yes me too, an old style "solid" bearing puller should do the trick. If it still won't budge apply low heat from a gas torch to only the bearing and try the puller again.

Better still if you have a local engine builder, they may have a 20T press and bearing plates - then again how much clearance is there?

I'm sure you would agree, nothing worse than hammer bruises on you beaut Losmandy shaft!

BTW thanks for those pics of the G11 Mechano set.
