[Public-list] shaft bearing removal

[Mike Lehman]

If you have the standard flange coupling that was original with the A4 and 
the A30, loosen or remove the four flange bolts and separate the two 
flanges. Then buy longer bolts that will allow you to place a socket 
slightly smaller than the shaft diameter [probably 3/4" will work]. Place 
this socket on the end of the shaft between the flanges with the longer 
bolts installed, Make sure the set bolt is loosened and slowly tighten each 
bolt one turn at a time. Start with the first bolt, tighten on turn, then 
bolt two one turn, and so on until the socket pushes the shaft out of the 
coupling. Simple
