I did this 20+ years ago on my 59 but lost all of the gadgets I must have had to do it. So.............
Credits and kudos to Joe Calcagno and his repair article for the idea. My version is a variation of stuff you can get locally. Joe's link:
I got all of the stuff at the local Home Depot. The threads on the 3rd arm stud are 3/4-16(fine) and HD has none but I used a 3/4-10 coupler and welded a fine thread extra nut I had to it as shown. The 3 1/2" round electric box fits perfectly over the housing. A 1 1/4" x 4" galvanized nipple was the right size for the coupler assy. Hold the bolt and turn the jam nut down on the pipe assy and it pulls right out.......errr, well it was pretty tight. A few lights taps with a hammer on the side housing helps get the first "break free" snap to happen too. This bearing was in pretty bad shape inside. Lots of crunchies going on.
