Don't know about the booster - but the bearings can be tapped out from the back.

You'll need something solid that is softer than the cast bearing housing - ie a Brass Drift (a piece of Brass rod), a hammer and a solid surface to work on. Then keep working your way around the bearing (say 12, 4 and 8 o'clock positions) tapping it out a little at a time.

When I tried to file a new edge onto a large cheap screwdriver, I found that it was made of plated brass. This now has the flat end cut off and the plating filed off - bonus is that the shaft goes all the way through the handle to hit with the hammer while retaining a more ergonomic handle. Hows that for finding a good use for a Supercheap product :lol: :lol:

Booster - Just done it twice - 1st time hard second dead easy

Dead easy way - remove circlip from around where the shaft goes through the centre - pull out shaft and spring (has rubber cup on end)

undo nuts and it all comes apart :wink:

By the way the hard way is to try and undo the nuts through the spring :oops:
