Or do I need shop press to get this sucker out? I'm contemplating whether I should invest in bearing puller or shop press, since there are several of us who'll put this to good use.

Default You wouldn't mind...if so, that'd be perfect - I'm by Bergen county (near GW Bridge)...

Are you in Voorhees, NJ?
Wait, would you happen to be Mark or Frank?
