I have an 05 GT DHI...any suggestions on how to remove the main pivot bearing?? Do I need a press?? The bearings are a little rusted over and they aren't moving for me....Does anyone have any advice for me??? Thanks....

If I recall from my DHi experience is that you find a similar sized deep socket to use to tap them through the frame.

That's what I did with my 2003 GT I-drive. I got the socket and and extension and tapped it through. To put it back in I used a C-clamp with a pry bar on either side and tightened that baby down. Works great.
