I've been trying all day and can't get this bearing off. Does anyone know how? Any help would be much appreciated.

I tried one of those pullers on a crank end bearing. It was so tight it bent the threaded bars instead of moving the bearing

I therefore used a slitting disc in an angle grinder to cut through (very carefully) the outer then inner race. Each race was cut until almost through and then the puller used. When you rebuild, stick the bearing into somewhere warm and the shaft in a bag in the freezer. The new bearing will simply drop onto the shaft without the need for a drift :cheers:

you could try heating the bearing up a bit to see if that helps?
