I know I’m usually all “oh it’s so easy to take out a bearing” but ironically, I can’t do it with a big yo. My pliers don’t fit the bearing in the little hole in them, and they slip all over the place when used otherwise… help?
Never mind… just needed a pretty big plier from my friend. ;D
BTW, would anyone be interested in a removing the bearing/removing the shield guide?
the easiest thing to do is take a sewing pin and poke the end. It should pop out w/o any harm 
throw it at a concrete wall countless times. should work quite easily
