Stick the half in the freezer for 10 minutes, then use your bearing tool and wiggle it out (don’t try to pull it straight, it won’t work).

I actually just posted on this topic. I should have looked down the list first. I use the back (chuck end) of a 1/4 inch drill bit. Just slide it in and wiggle.

Since when does anybody ever bother to “look” for an answer?

Just another a typical bearing thread.

Same thing happened to my shutter… The only solution i found was to crush the bearing. 😑
