Has anyone made a front bearing removal tool as on page A5-7 of the Austin Seven Manual but for a 1-1/2" pressure-fed crank? The web of this Speedy crank is wider than a standard crank and the standard tool as shown would not be able to push against the inner ball races. The short semi-circular recesses in the crankshaft allow only space for a drift at an angle to the crank shaft, or maybe for a modified bearing removal tool.
Otherwise I suppose I shall just use the time-honoured method of knocking out the bearing with a brass drift.
