A bearing went out in the clutch on my stump grinder yesterday. I'm hoping I can just replace the bearing because a new clutch from Vermeer is $1,400. I have a new bearing coming in today but I'm having trouble getting the old one out. We put it on a press yesterday and put 10 tons of pressure on it, and it didn't budge. Anybody have any knowledge on this? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The new bearing got it going again. I called Warner which is the manufacturer of the clutch and their tech explained to me how to press the bearing out. $90 bearing sure is better than $1,400 for a new clutch.

Yes, & if that bearing has a number on it, or you didn't destroy it, a Bearing dealer would be even cheaper [I think] !

Can you please tell me how you removed those bearings? Vermeer now wants $2400 for that clutch

Also could you describe how to remove the electric clutch. Do you have to remove the snap rings front and back? tried to use a bit of vibration to remove it from the shaft but not coming...
