I figure i should add one bit of advice. If you have a welder handy, or know of someone that does, make sure the amps are turned down pretty low, but lay a bead around the inside of the outter ring (the ring that gets stuck in the hub assembly) and once the weld cools it will shrink the ring enough that you can pull it out by hand.

okay, not to be an asshole but that was a pretty crappy write up. you used special tools that your friend made? why not show us some pics of it so we can all see how to make it? some shitty little keyboard diagram doesnt cut it.

Thread has pics of tool made from all thread and washers. The other parts are a socket and the old inner bearing race.
