    Be VERY careful!! Many years ago (1976) I was working in a motorcycle/snowmobile shop and I was pressing a bearing off snowmobile crankshaft and I didn't realize I didn't have the bearing puller all the way behind the inner race.......KABOOM!!!!!! It blew the the outer race up right in front of me. I was in the middle of a 40' wide shop and **** hit both walls and the ceiling. I nearly **** my pants but I didn't get hit with either the ball bearings or the parts of the outer race. I don't know how I didn't get killed or maimed, other than DUMB luck.

    Mount some stout 6" diameter wheels to one end,and a handle mounted to the frame,and move it around "hand truck" style.

    Hand trucks are really easy to manage,ONCE you get the hang of them.
    Just don't tip that heavy ******* over on top of your ***!
