2. Set the yoke in the arbor press with a piece of tube stock beneath it.
Place a solid plug on the upper bearing and press it through to release the lower bearing.
3. If the bearing will not pull out by hand after pressing, tap the base of the lug near the bearing to dislodge it.
4. To remove the opposite bearing, turn the yoke over and straighten the spider in the open spider hole. Then carefully press on the end of the spider
so the remaining bearing moves straight out of the bearing spider hole. If the spider or bearing are cocked, the bearing will score the walls of the
spider hole and ruin it.
5. Repeat this procedure on the remaining bearing to remove the spider from the yoke.
