I took  an old, large flat blade screwdriver, bent the tip over 90-degrees
making a  1/8" lip. Slid a large socket over the shaft of the screwdriver,
hooked the  bearing with the screwdriver tip and slapped the socket into the
screwdriver  handle (think slide hammer) until I got the bearing moving.


The  roller bearings had fallen out of mine and were wedging between the
flywheel  and the rear main seal causing a big oil  leak.
