Spares: Blind Leading the Blind

Took the new blind bearing puller for a first test run.  Complete fail, but for reasons I discovered the second day (see next post).

But on this first try, as tight as I kept locking it down, whenever I'd go to knock the bearing out, the tool would just slip out.

In the end, I decided to just knock the bearing out the old school way, namely using a screwdriver to catch the edge of it (the collar will slide to the side enough to allow you to catch an edge).  Took a lot of hammering, but finally knocked one bearing free.  Got my hands on the distance collar for the first time.
