So I guess a few of you have encounter this problems, how the hell can I remove my busted bearings out of my reducer cups. I thought about it for a while and finally it struct me. It is oh so simple.
The only things you need is a 1'' Socket, your 2 reducer cups & a bench vise.
Then you place your socket in one of the reducer cup so the socket sits only on the bearings, while stacking the other cup on top of the first one and then you put everything in the bench vise like in the following picture.
(I know I have a beaten up bench vise)
Now, you slowly apply pressure with the vise until the bearing pops out of the reducer. Et voilà!!!
Now swap the reducer and you know the rest of the story.
Its like bananas.
You are now able to change your bearings without sacrifying, hurting or destroying your reducer cups.
CAUTION! I don't know if it can happen, it didn't in my case, but this action could have the effect of popping out the inner race of the bearings and the bearings, leaving you with the outer race of the bearing stuck in the reducer cup.
