U can pop out the bearing if it is stuck on a tight seat. ---

It’s name is very deceiving, lol. Flint nitrogen treatment bearing tool. You can’t tell me that doesn’t sound cool ---

That’s just one of many ways of finishing metal to strengthen and protect it from wear and the elements depending on applications it’s used for. Similar to this process. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/0/3/b0395fbac02aba2dcd4cc1be82417f2cffa5c0ce.png) Sounds fancy but it’s like reading coatings on drill bits. They technically serve a purpose but in this case it really doesn’t matter it if was gold plated or whatever else since it’s just used as a pry and wiggle tool to remove a bearing.😅🤗 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/3/e/d3ed71453dbff3c5dc545a5839ba18f8ed724f82.jpeg)
