 First the good news. I finally got the stuck bolts loose and disassembled my Hegar Mystery clutch. More good news was that the sealed bearing tapped right out with a drift and small hammer.

The bad news is that the needle bearings are totally rusted up. After an hour in Blaster they don't even try to turn. The needle bearings of which I speak are, I believe what is called a Torrington bearing. My experiece with trying to replace a similar one in a Burco closed clutch cover was less than enjoyable to say the least, so I decided to call out for help............

Does anyone know a painless way of getting one of these things out and getting a new one back in that doesn't involve blood, sweat, swearing, and throwing tools? If so, help me please!
