Not sure where he’s at either. Need a pic or a clearer description.
I think he is talking about the two smallest wheels, that are at the very top of the track.
If i recall, i removed the appropriate snap ring, then hit the shaft they ride on with a plastic type hammer to force the shaft through. Be careful not to mushroom out the shaft.

They are pressed on. Support in a vice, place a 2x4 over end of shaft so it does not get damages and give it a few good wacks with a man hammer. It will come off, just may have to use some force.

Ok. Just sux i dont have a vice but I'll figure it out thanks
if your truck is high enough, use a dead blow hammer with the bearing resting on the edge of your hitch. work bench works aswell.

Lately I've just been cutting bearings off with an angle grinder & cutoff wheel.
Gave up the fight, huh ?? lol

It was a gear shaft from 1962/63 brush hog gearbox. That forker did not come off w/ 20 tons on the press gauge. The cut-off wheel made short work of it.
