    I may be mistaken here, but he said Gen V... I thought the grease trick didn't work with the Gen V.

    More likely, he will need the correct puller.

    Gen 5 bearimg are open both sides. They go into a bore that is totally closed. Even if there was a cross drill the bearimg isn't closed.

    You need an internal bearing puller and a slide hammer.

    Why remove them anyway?

    Powercoating ovens should not even get hot enough to damage anything on the inside.

    The grease and seal are not rated to 400.

    I replace a set in a powder Coated blower, they needed done. The case was bead blasted but the grease wasn't right.

    There probable fine tell you bake them to 350-390. If you don't bake them, clean them out and regrease them.
