Well sometimes you have to take a flat head screw driver put it on top of the bearing and tap it downward with a hammer but be very careful NOT to hit or scratch the armature. You might think this is silly but sometimes it's easier for me to use my feet as a second set of hands. Hold the armature with feet and so hands are free to use screw driver and hammer lol. I should take a pic of me doing that sometime lol. of coarse if you have a vice tool thats better.

I thought Sears sold two different sizes of bearing pullers the very last time I looked. They were about $40. You may want to check it out. |

I use a two jaw bearing puller that I purchased from gopher bearing here in Tucson they also stock the correct bearing for the older electrolux's. |
