The special tools that i use to remove axle bearings and retainers are; a LARGE hammer, a cold
chisel, and safety glasses. I have my assistant hold the axle so that the retainer is on the vise
anvil, then position the chisel on the retainer, then I whlop the chisel as hard as can. If the
ring doesn't split it'll loosen enough so that you can slide it off of the axle. The bearing can be
dealt with in the same way. The steel is very hard so it is also very brittle, like glass. Hence
the safety glasses.

need special tools for that stuff!)
