#!markdown Yep, in a pinch I've done similar with seized bearings and an easy-out. One can at least get the bearings spinning so they can be flushed out and re- greased in the same way as above. It's not pretty, but if the correct bearing can't be sourced or the person doesn't want to spend the money, having a freely spinning bearing is better than a seized one.
