According to Tech A, what type of tool is best for removing transmission bearings?

The correct choice indicates that neither a rawhide hammer nor a wax temperature stick and roaster oven is appropriate for removing transmission bearings.

To effectively remove transmission bearings, specialized tools such as bearing pullers or slide hammers are typically used. These tools are designed to apply even force to the bearing, ensuring a smooth and safe removal without damaging surrounding components.

A rawhide hammer may be useful for general assembly tasks without marring surfaces, but it does not provide the necessary mechanical advantage or precision needed for bearing removal. Similarly, while a wax temperature stick and roaster oven could theoretically alter the temperature of components to help with removal, they are not standard or recognized methods for this specific application in transmission service. Proper procedures generally emphasize the need for appropriate mechanical tools specifically designed for bearing extraction to prevent damage to the transmission and ensure effective service.
