  1. The original bearings are pressed in and there is a sleeve in between them so I have no idea how to get purchase to pull them out. How did you remove them? EDIT: Figured it out. You start by removing the topmost bearing; place a bit of something on the table then lay a long bolt or rod slightly diagonally so it goes through the bottom bearing and notches below the topmost bearing. Then you lower the mill with the screw on top until you start moving the bearing a bit. Raise the mill head, reposition the long bolt or rod opposite to where you last were and do the same thing and repeat that until the top bearing pops out. Now you can remove the sleeve and then you're left only with the lower bearing and that's the complicated one to remove. I placed a plastic tube that is larger than the bearing right under the head then a metal bar across that tube and in that metal bar there's a hole. You just slide a washer in a bolt, place the bolt down from the top so that the washer lays on top of the bottom bearing and the bolt passes through the metal bar's hole which is against the tube underneath the head and then you just place a big washer and some nuts on that bolt and tighten. You will be squeezing the metal bar against the tube which is pushing on the bottom of the mill head while the bolt you're tightening is pulling the bearing down. Tighten until the bottom bearing pops out. If all that text is a bit unclear, look up videos on homemade bearing puller for bicycle. It's more or less the same principle.
