rear axle housing bearing

[Groundhawger]

so i got the rear axle almost all the way back together on my z71. im changing the rear axle bearings but i cant seem to get them out of the houseing. is there a trick? the bearings them selves are out, but just the sleeve is in there now..i cant seem to get it out.

habor frieght tools has a kit to pull them out. requires a slid hammer (not included). also requires some grinding on to make it fit your axle. i got one already done. or a long strong pipe or square tube from the other end and bfh. my rear axle is a 9.5 sf also works for a 10bolt
