I have my b16 transmission cracked open to change the bearings at the top of the mainshaft and the bottom. The top bearing is stuck in the case that covers the shafts. I haved searched and searched and the best I can find is to pry it out with a screwdriver or bang it upside down on a table and I have done both with no luck. Does anyone know how to get it out. Thank you!

 

bump!

 

Iv used pick tools but they have never been stuck i guess. Have also went the screwdriver route.

 

try a bearig puller they have dif size hooks that grab the iner race and let you pull the bearing out they look like this I am sure there are cheeper ones out there

I encountered the same problem with our Son's 2005 Civic 5spd as we decided to change both bearings while changing the input shaft bearing which was noisy and had failed, (which is how I found this thread on this forum), as our bearing was really stuck inside the case also. If anyone is still seeing these posts - here's what I ended up doing:

The transmission case was really cold from sitting in the garage in February, aluminum (case) conducts heat way faster than the steel bearing, so I applied a little heat around the outside (backside) of the case opposite where the bearing sits with a small propane torch. I just circled around the outsides of the bulged area on the case with the torch for about a minute, maybe less. Then I just picked up the case and lightly smacked it down on the workbench and the bearing came right out! Both case and original bearing were completely undamaged as this required no prying or pulling or application of any tools; I didn't even touch the bearing as gravity did the work.

 

Blind hole bearing puller.

I have this set and it has served me well so far.

 

Good call TomCat39.
