Hey Mike - nicely done. Here's a tool idea for you. A steel pipe that fits over the PTO shaft with a heavy washer whose outside diameter is the same as the bearing, with the inside diameter that fits over the PTO shaft, welded onto the end of the pipe. The pipe longer than the PTO shaft so you can tap it with a mallet. I wrecked one or two bearings like that trying to drive them into a lawn mower spindle with a socket bar. Also there's different shaped picks available from auto supply places, they're used to remove hoses off radiators.
