Spigot bearing removal by "Hydraulic" pressure

This is easy if you have a vernier and a lathe to make a shaft to fit up the inside of the spigot bearing.

I used a bolt that was lying around that was the same diameter. As shown in the pics.

'''Step 1.'''

Pump or fill the inside with grease until it starts to ooze out (as shown in pic)

You want to replace all the air inside the cavity with grease, the air compresses and will not work if you don't.

'''Step 2.'''

Put your bolt/shaft in down the centre of the spigot bearing holding it with something that's not your fragile fingers, then hit it with a hammer. 

The shaft will pressurize the grease behind the bearing pushing it forward, repeat this if you don't get it the first go.

That's the Bush/Bearing on the bolt.
It took me 2 goes to get it out.
