[QUOTE="J, post: 151900, member: 2167"] If you can get to the open end of the shaft that is inside plug one end, put a fire extenguisher in and blow some in there. It will freeze it causing it to contract, then it will be easier to pull out. Don't freeze the outside one cause it will just make it tighter. We did this before on a bearing that was seized onto a shaft at a candy factory one time. We tried every imaginable way to get that darn bearing off, even had hydraulic jacks rigged to it, there was so much noticable pressure that we stopped that fast. An old man put a rag in one end of the shaft filled it up, we went to lunch and when we came back almost slid it off with our hands. Worth a try if you want to save it. This way won't hurt anything.
