I’ve tried the tool, and my hands. (I do. It want to use pliers)

I need to take the bearing off to Clean it. Won’t let me. It’s like it’s stuck or something. Please help me?

Try sticking it in the freezer for awhile then try the tool again. The aluminum will shrink a tiny bit more than the steel.
