ok ive spent hours searching on here and google to no avail. does anyone have any idea how to get the "pocket" bearing race out of the input shaft. its the bearing that goes between the input shaft and the mainshaft. i got the bearing changed on the mainshaft but i cant get that ****ing race out of the input shaft. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks and preferably soon...i would like my transmission done pretty quick. thanks

using a press and different sized bearing separators is what worked for me.
IIRC, I had to break the old bearing apart (or maybe it just did, trying to pull it) and once I was just messing with the inner piece I was able to get it off.
I see why the recommend not changing them unless absolutely necessary.

yeah its that stupid inner piece i cant get out. nothing to grab ahold of it and pull with. and it does need to be changed. this transmission is a pain in the ***! but its all i have left besides the tailshaft bushing to do.

yeah, I forget what I did, I think I had to grind/cut on one of my bearing separators to get a good bite. I just bought crappy stuff at Harbor Freight, so it wasnt like I was grinding on some expensive Snap on tools. ![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
Good luck with that. I remember I was pretty pissed off!
