You may be able to rent a blind bearing puller at the auto parts store. Good suggestion.

Re:front end noise??? 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago

Update.... since Lefty had the same problem...( even though his sig pic looks like he doesnt have one)... The buzzing turned out to be the "showchrome" fender rail on the front. Turns out one of the fender bolts came loose enuf to cause a small gap between the fender and rail, causing the " metal to metal " buzz at a certain rpm just for a second or two. Probably did it in every gear as I shifted, but couldnt hear it til' I was coasting into driveways and parking lots with no throttle.

Just an FYI, my front fender chrome tip would buzz before I took all the tips off and reinstalled them with RTV Super Black underneath.
