It was weird - it was laying in the rocker arm slightly cocked in an angle. But it was wedged in good and I was a bit leery about trying to tap it out with a hammer because I thought the bearing was still good. If I knew it had blown up like that I would have just pounded it out!


I think it was sitting in the rocker arm cocked/angled because it had collapsed. Oh well ... I've got new bearings in both rocker arms and it's back to being buttery smooth!

 even better question.. where did you get that tool.. last time i checked trans. they didnt sell them anymore.. best and cheapest tool ever !!

 Didn't have to walk it home. I didn't discover the bearing being busted into I got it home and was trying to dial in the rear suspension. As for the tool, they have a few online. In fact I bought the tool a couple of days after I noticed a problem with the bearing. I wished I had taken a pic of the bearing when it was in the rocker arm - it was cocked in a angle! At the time I didn't think it was broken but i also was having problems trying to extract it. I was still under the impression that the bearing was good so I was leery about pound it out with a hammer. Even with the tool it took some effort before the bearing finally got pressed out. I've never had a bearing blow up like that before!

 i had a crooked bearing in my first legend,.. found it out pretty quick lucky me.. since the creaking began.. i am going to look for one of those.. i found another same sort one on crc.. but it was pretty expensive..
