Thank you Spokes. I did do a search about removing wheel bearings and used that very method today to remove the bearings. I was considering doing what you said but the speedo plate but was afraid of damaging it.I bought a 4" anchor, a 6" would be better. I have a feeling though this isn't the one you're describing. You're using one wihout a rod, it's just split and you can thread a bolt into it, spreading it to gain a grip on the inside of the bearing? The longer one works okay, it's just hard to tighten sufficiently. Ah, no guts no glory! Thanks, Cliff.
