Any tricks to removing the rear counter shaft bearing? Service manual says to use tool number blah blah blah which I don't have.

85 4runner.

 

Is this the bearing pressed to the shaft. or the bearing set in the case???
If it is the one on the shaft, a bearing separator plate and a press are required.
Something similar to this>>>

 

No, the one pressed in the case. I got it. Only about 2/3 of it is accessible from the back side. I found a bearing race that matched the diameter, cut out the 1/3. Ended up with a crescent moon shape. Welded a plate on top of it and a long bolt. One good smack and the bearing popped right out.
