Default Re: Removing a differential bearing race

I took a piece of steel bar stock, radiused both ends so it would sit on the slight edge of the bearing race. Then lowered the table down on my press so the axle housing fits on the table directly under the hydraulic jack. Using an old junk axle, inserted backwards into the small end of the axle housing until it stops on the bar stock, I press the bearing race out of the housing. I prefer doing it this way because I take a quantity of these banjo rears apart and save many of the good original Ford bearing sets which are much better quality than some of the new imported bearings available today. I posted pictures here doing this years ago, not sure I can still find that post, or if the attached pictures were posted from photobucket.
