    It may be a little late now, but I heat the bearing head. Clean it good & pull the rubber out so it won’t smoke so bad then put it in an oven. About 275 for 30 min. The aluminum will grow away from the brass and soften the gunk. You need a pair of welders gloves to handle it, but the seal usually comes right out. The brass bushing is cast in to the aluminum so no damage is done there. That’s the way I do anything that is stuck in aluminum that can be heated.
