I will have to scrounge around to find someone with a press. As to sockets that size, I am sure a diesel shop has tons of big sizes,
not me. Just never have to work on stuff that large...(till now)
I have all kinds of oddball shapes of steel laying around the blacksmith shop, but I haven't come up with anything
even close to correct diameter. I am hoping to extract the bearings without damage to keep as spare parts.
Heck, I am still hunting an experienced welder to fix the bearing mount.
Its a good thing these are a labor of love....they can tun into money pits quickly!
