Hook the ROUND edge of a large carriage bolt to the inside lip of the bearings...maybe use two of them to wedge tightly in place.  Then, from the other end of the square axle tube, use long drift pin (or your axle shaft) to drive against the end of that carriage bolt.  Move the carriage bolt gradually around the circumference of the bearing and tap it out.

I have had good results using a small pry bar ( five of six inches long). Insert the tool from the outside of the case with the bent end behind the bearing, use a screw driver handle to hold it in place. Once it is secure give a light tap with a hammer on the end that is protruding from the axle hole. Rotate it an repeat, usually takes two or three taps and the bearing is out.

Take a socket, the largest size that will fit in the axle tube and put backwards on a large extension.  Use a brass hammer on the extension so you don’t damage it. I just checked the tranny I have apart and a Craftsman 15/16 socket fits a little loose in the the axle tube. Work the socket to the side and go around the bearing tapping it out 

 

You about 30 miles from me, we could get together and work on yours and reassemble the one I have apart that ready to reassemble. I’m hoping to reassemble mine tomorrow.

That works for the roller bearing at the end of the axle, he is asking about the 1533 which is the one that the ends of the differential ride in. Hope you can give him a hand.

Right Richard...there is no lip sticking out in the axle tube...that is why Dave put a carriage bolt under the bearing...so something would stick out to tap against.  I used an air hammer with a bent bit.  A few rat-a-tats and it popped right out.  The best way is a bearing puller.  Word is you can rent them at Auto Zone.

   I have an old bearing puller that works, but even that needs some shims to make it work.

Here is a drastic way in that it destroys the bearing. If it is already bad it doesn't matter. With the plate welded on you can drive the bearing from the axle side.

I use a piece of threaded rod with a  washer bolted on the end, with the outer bearing removed insert the washer end down the axle tube. Insert the washer in the gap behind the bearing and hammer on the end of the threaded rod sticking out the axle tube.

While I was in the shop this afternoon I took some pictures so you can see how the small pry bar works. the one I use is 7"long.

Insert the pry bar into the axle opening with the bent end inside and behind the 1533 bearing. I use a screw driver to hold the pry bar down in the groove behind the bearing, left it out so you could see the pry  bar.

Give the portion of the bar that protrudes from the axle opening a light blow then rotate it 90* and give it another light blow. I have had some come out with one hit, some take two or three, but you are not hitting it hard.

Hope this helps.

blind hole bearing puller and a slide hammer would be the correct tool imo :)

The method I use puts the force on the shell rather than the inner race. I have saved some good used bearing without any damage this way.  Besides, my blind puller set doesn't come close to being that big.

To remove a pilot bearing from a blind hole would pack it full of grease then drive a wood pulg into the bearing center.
