Not so lucky here, went out and got a torch after trying the toaster oven. Using a temp gun to make sure I don't get it too hot. Tried at 250* then 300* then ran it up to 358* Smacked quite a few times each attempt. It was spinning but was real stiff after getting all but the crank out. Soaked in Marvel Mystery Oil for three days and this freed the crank to spin clean. Wanted to change the bearings anyway as this is from a Losi NXT OS .12 that more than likely has the original bearings. Got some Fast Eddies to replace but I'm stuck... any ideas? I cant get anything to catch the inner race and get any bite.

my rear bearing broke when i tried to remove it and now it’s just the outer rim and it’s completely jammed. does anyone have any tips on remove it?

How do you remove the rear bearing outer race when that is all that’s left? My Fast Eddie rear bearing cage failed in my OS .18TM.

Don't know if I missed it, but any trick to installing new bearing?
