RFI - washer help

[Francis]

I'm hoping someone has done this before. I'm trying to change the bearings in my washer and I'm stuck trying to get one of the bearings out of the tub. The one that's stuck is the inner bearing that's being tapped out at 17:30 of this video. I've used the penetrating oil and worked the punch on it most of the afternoon but it hasn't budged. Anyone know any tricks of the trade that would help me get that thing out?



Here's a pic of it sitting in the tub. It's been oiled on both sides. Any help is greatly appreciated.



PS - I put the time parm in the youtube url thinking it would start at the 16:45 mark. It works in my browser but not in the link.

You have any auto part stores that rent tools? Last time I had something like that I rented a bearing puller/press kit for something like $12.
