I use a press and that bearing clamp tool and press them right off with the backing plate like they did in the dealerahips when they were being worked on. Only problem is they dont usually press right out. Its scary sometimes when there is a full 20 ton pushing it and nothing happens till explosion of outer bearing race, so i add a little heat and some penetrant and they mostly come right off. If they dont press right out with little heat i will then cut the bearing and retainer collar and then it just falls apart. I try to save some collars incase i need one because i snagged a good used bearing that the collar wouldnt budge on. I love samurais. The rear end i run is a tracker/sidekick center with the samurai axle tubes welded on with the 5.13 gear ratio, welded and all you need to do is put the samurai axle couplers inside the pig and yours ready for business. I used to just get two tracker fronts to do both on samurai, but i found that the rear get trashed fast so i did a hybrid rear end and it rarely fails anymore. I also run the larger tracker/sidekick yokes and flanges so i have the bigger bolts and they dont come loose of shear off.
