Input Shaft bearing question Whats the best way to get the Bearing off the input shaft? I switched the Trans to LS1 from LT1.
Any good tips out there? I have a LT1 T56 Midplate for sale if anyone needs one, also input shaft for T56..

I typically hit the tip of the input shaft against the flat spot on my vice until the bearing seperates from the face of the gear enough to put a split plate puller under it. After that, it will press right off. If you don't have a press and don't care about the LT1 input shaft, keep hitting the tip on a hard surface until the bearing comes off. It will mushroom the tip of the shaft but won't matter if the gear is going to be junked.
