Removing Bottom Bearing Cone

[TurboTrev]

Has anyone got any tips or techniques for removing the bottom bearing cone from the frame? On my last one I heated the frame and banged the outer edge until first, the cone cover split and broke off then eventually the cone itself came out, but it was a right so and so to do. Does anyone have a better way of doing it? Is there a removal tool? Thanks.

I use a long metal drift down the frame tapping gently either side of the cone if tight I use a bit of heat

If you get "Sticky's manual" it tells you the best way's to remove the cone on pages 212-213.
