BreakingWind2 - This is an awesome photo log. It should be permanently archived on Sailnet for reference since we seem to get about 10 cutlass bearing removal queries a year! The threaded rod installation device is EXACTLY like the one that I thought that I invented! Very cool to see someone else do exactly the same thing.
I love the idea about cutting right where the set screws are and then threading a bolt through to break the bearing loose. I inserted a screwdriver between the strut and the bearing to collapse it where I'd scored it. Using the bolts is so much more elegant.
I love Sailnet
