Chasing down electrical gremlins, I've taken advice from another thread and decided to replace the generator brushes and springs and clean up the commutator. In another thread someone recommended replacing the bushing and bearing while I had it apart.

I have it apart but can't figure out how to replace either. The bushing is pressed into the cover and there's no back side to remove. Looks like I need some mystery tool to get under the bushing and pull it out.

The bearing is held between the armature shaft and the generator bracket. Looks like the pulley is screwed onto the shaft and I need to unscrew it. Can't see how to do that without destroying the armature by squeezing it in a vise or big set of pliers.

Help!
