12 Ton shop press
HF Tools large bearing separator
First: It scares the hell outta me to place the pinion in the separator and press down on the pinion shaft in the first place....when the bearing finally does pop loose I'm thinking it will shoot at about a million miles per hour at the garage floor and the who know where? (kinda like popping off a pitman arm) I put a cardboard box lined inside with moving blankets to "catch" my pinion missle. Am I doing this wrong? Advice?
Second: I have blown through the bearing seperator TWICE, the second time damaging it and the bearing is STILL on the pinion shaft. Am I doing something wrong? How hard should this be?
