Rear pressing out rear wheelbearing
I've heard of folks using a cut down rear axle housing with a couple cross pieces welded on. Is there a better way with out the factory SST?

I've seen a write up on 4x4 wire.

I always just use a hunk of plywood and a piece of pipe.

Yup 4x4 wire

Or take it to your local shop and have them do it. I just took the shafts on base and to the auto shop and did it for free.

No not going to pound them off by slamming spline side on the ground with some plywood then file down any boogers in the splines.

Yes I have access to the autocrafts shop.

Well then go there! You probably won't have to pay a fee! Just ask for the arbor press and a "clamshell". I bent one accidently....sooooo don't do that!

Take it to a shop. I got mine done for free.
I tried that method where you slam it into the ground but that wasn't going anywhere.

I just use a regular shop press.

Sometimes in the past I have used a air hammer to take the old bearings off

I was happy to get rid of the 84 "narrow" rear housing in the backyard. Made 2 press tools out of it.
