    How Do I Remove a Stuck Gimbal Bearing?

    Skip the over the counter stuff. Mix 50%ATF and 50%Acetone. Best penetrating oil that exists. Brush on liberally or spray on Use a 5# fist maul and beat the bearing inward a bit with a piece of white oak. Swing like your trying to turn the world......That will loosen the bearing.
