is there a easy way to change the bearings in the old arbors the last time i did one i think i cused at it this is the old 2 bolt blade type. i used some new penatrant called bolt off and i never broke a bolt.thanks

I have found it easier to keep the arbors in the shell to do this. But remove the pulley, flinger, and washers then take screwdriver and slide the sleeve between the bearings sideways, that will give you a place to hammer the old ones out.

If you have a six pack handy, and don't mind listening to an "old man" babble; this 40 minute video, shows me encouraging the bearings out of a keyed arbor (IE not splined)...note - the spacers do get a tad distorted this way!
