Hello Bill:
I've always pulled the things with a three-pound slide hammer, then let the
machine shop press old bearings out and new ones in as I don't have a
press. I reinstall with a heavy rubber mallet.
One can try using a straight-jawed "monkey" wrench, but if the nut is the
least bit tight you're in trouble. There's no substitute for the correct
octagon spanner; it's size is 1-61/64". I got mine from Rob Nortier of
British Tools in Grand Rapids, MI.
YMMV,
David Darby
