Hey, thanks all for the info on the Bosch 4000 and the video on techniques for pulling the bearing. One problem, in using the 2 flat drew drivers to pop the bearing, it disintegrated. Now I have just the most inner hub of the bearing on the armature shaft; not enough to get a bite from the screwdrivers. I'm going to try grinding the remaining ring down to the point I can use a chisel to break it off unless somebody has a better idea. I don't want to nick the shaft but can't think of anything else.

Hi Greg,
Don't use a chisel.The best way if you don't have a puller is to use a dremel tool with a cut off wheel and carefully cut the inner race off.Generally one cut on the side of the race and you can pull the race off with your fingers.Hope that helps.Good luck.
