what type of puller do you use to seperated the carrier bearings from the carrier on a rearend? I'm trying to change gears on a Ford 8.8 rearend. Is there some special puller to get the bearings off the carrier?
I have a 2 arm puller but what do you put the middle shaft on?

I tried a dowel, but it wont allow enough pressure to remove the bearing. Anyone else got some ideas? What did you put in the axle hole?
