Which of the listed tools should be used to remove a tapered roller bearing from a shaft?

Correct Answer: Option D — An arbor press

An arbor press is the standard, safe tool for removing tapered roller bearings from shafts. It provides uniform, controlled pressure, preventing damage to the bearing races or the shaft surface that would likely occur if using hammers, drifts, or torches, which can cause localized stress or metallurgical changes.
