If you can get replacement bearing then blow the old one off with a torch. It amazes me to see a farmer spend all day heating, cooling, heating, cooling, etc. they spray WD 40 on and walk away or have a cup of coffee and repeat the steps over and over, for an $8 bearing. Had a guy bring me an auger, said he fiddled with it for 6 hrs. Said his time wasn't worth anything. I said well mine is and blew it off with heat, had a new one on in 5 minutes. Unbelievable
