I'm trying to get the old ones out to replace with the new ones. I'm doing the socket method but I could only get one to go down and hit the other one. It's already kind of greasy in there so I though they would slide out .

I went from the other side using a large flat screw driver and hammer, with a little heat, what forks are they. I have in the past use a socket extension with a imperial socket on the end (don't use them) so wasn't to bothered if I damaged it.

Got it out. I did use the socket method and a sledge hammer.

Use not the brute force, Retro.

Poor man's press you must construct, with threaded rod, fender washers, and maybe a socket or two of the correct size.

Everything like a nail looks while using the hammer.

Like Yoda I am typing today.

Nice tool. I could have used that but today I went to the dark side.
