Is there some trick to removing a balance shaft bearing? Chiltons mentions a machine shop doing it. Why is that? If I can't get it out, does anyone have an extra balance shaft I can throw in to plug the hole?

I tapped out the front bearing with a big punch. Tapping it out slowly, working in a circular pattern.
The rear one was removed by turning the balance shaft around, and using the big end as a punch to push it out. I then used the balance shaft again to install the new rear bearing and a block of wood to install the front. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???
