im pretty sure theyre the same size as an SR20,
i just filled the cavity behind the bush with grease and stuck a 1/2" extension in the hole and whacked it with a hammer

When in doubt, down and out.

it usually works, if a bearing is particularly tight though its possible for the grease to push through the races and out the front again, or out around your 1/2 inch extension etc.

have had to smash one or two out in the past, you can get a slide hammer type tool for them but in my experience if its too tight for the grease trick to work the slide hammer version just rips the inner out of the bearing anyway

tis not a bearing on SR20/Rb engines, its a sintered bronze bush, so no probs there.
