I've just upgraded my motor that has a 5/8" shaft. Previously, I had the Beall Arbor on a 1/2" shaft with the adapter installed in the arbor. The adapter is an aluminum tube with 1/2" ID and 5/8" OD. It fits very tight.
Anyone ever remove one once it's in? Any ideas?
I may try putting the arbor in a vice and slowly chisel a tool under the adapter, bend a corner up, lubricate it, and try to grab it and slide it out.

Bearing/gear puller. No chisel/vise combo.

Thanks. Now I just have to find one. Even the harbor freight ones aren't cheap.

Take it to your local mechanics along with a few beers.
