Just thought I'd share how I got the rear bearings out. I'll skip over how I got the first set of bearings out as you get those out the same way you get the ones out of the front wheel (less than 5 minutes for that).
I first destroyed the cage and removes the needle bearings leaving just the outer bearing race. I then took the heat gun and heated up the bearing race using the highest setting on the heat gun ( about 10 minutes). Next I used the round expanding bearing pullling tool to grab the race on the inside lip and then attached it to the hammer puller and managed to get it about 3/4 of the way out before the lip broke completely off. So I then used the dual expanding jaw puller to grad it from the back side and finished removing it. The whole process took me about 20 minutes including the heating up part.
I borrowed the hammer puller, dual expanding jaw puller, and round expanding tool from Autozone. Below are pictures of the tools I got from Autozone and what was left of the bearing race when I was done.
This stuff might be common knowledge to some of you but after doing a search, it seemed like a lot of people were having a bit of trouble getting the bearing race out and since everyone here has helped me out more than I can say, I thought I might return the favor sort of. I'll post my complete Busa brake (front and rear) in the brakes section as soon as I get my rear brake line hooked up. Thanks again everyone!
