    hey guys I'm a little stuck right now, I was changing out some u joints and my carrier support bearing, but I couldn't get universal joint yoke off to get to the bearing. put a bar in and tried to hit it outward but didn't work. i sprayed with pb and letting it soak overnight and gonna get back to in the morning. Gonna try heat, but any other ideas?

    I rented a 2/3 jaw puller for the bearing part, but I can't get it to clamp on to the yolk, I'll think outside the box a little more thanks guys

    Take it to a shop and have them press it apart in the hydraulic press.

    Put the driveshaft in a bench vice. Put the old u joint back in and thread your vice grips on the slide hammer and pull that baby off.
