Removing bearings on Hudsons and Terraplanes

Photo shows a simple tool I have made from thick tube. Distance between front 5/16 threaded holes is different to the holes at the back. Bearing block is a tight fit so its important to pull block out vertically - I used a caliper to check the starting clearance then wound the end bolts the same number of turns. Could have welded a nut under the tube but just used a spanner. I used a scrap piece of steel under the end bolts so that it didnt damage the crankcase. I very quick easy job. Hope its of interest and will help someone.
