[pilot_bear]

seem so quiet in the machine zone, where did all the machine guys go ?

wanted to take out a bearing tonight, end up with a broken vice,
talk about "stress" at work.

looking at the break section, does look like a weak point.
20 years vice, i want to see.

found my mistake, was pressing again a hollow steel shaft which i mistook it as a plastic. took out the bearing with a g-clamp in the end.
