UPDATE: Resolved, but carry on. The problem WAS: 48" Exmark Quest, 2010. Starting to hear some bearing noise, not as smooth as it could be. Already replaced the three idler pulleys. Now, on to the 6203ZZ's in the three bearing housings that support the blade shaft. I am stumped. I've tried everything I know and I can't get the bearings out of the housings. The two shaft bearings have a sleeve in between them with the same 17mm ID as the bearings. I sold bearings for Motion Industries back in college. I know a little about bearings. I own almost every bearing puller and press that Owatonna Tool Company makes, and have extensive experience in their use over these last forty years. There is no way to employ them. The sleeve between the bearings prevents the tools from expanding behind the inner race so you can pull it out. Tried heat. Tried force. Tried reasoning with them. They continue to mock my existence. How do you get these out?
