The number 17 turns whit the stater motor but the 16 does not, i need to replace those but its a pain to take them out, tried last night with no success, i managed to take out the first bearing but this one is putting a fight.

cheers

Eralha,did you get it out? I was going to replace the bearing as it is a bit 'notchy' but spins ok.I can not get it out,soaked in penetrating oil,loads of heat but won't move.I am close to damaging the case so gave up.Any suggestions?
