The flat plates and press are not the problem. The removal plate I'm referring to is the round plate shown in the inset of the photo. It has notches around the inner hole, to clear the pinion flutes so you can engage the inner sleeve of the bearing, rather than pressing just on the outer shell. I'll have to check at some of the big truck repair shops. The bearing itself is probably 5 inches in dia. and nearly two inches thick.
