On my protostar I got it with the bearing and spacers all stuck together. I need a way to get them apart. Also wondering if this has happened to other people? ---

Take a look around here. I believe there was some recent posts about this as well as some highlighted items in the List of useful modification and maintenance guides section stickied here.
