This reminds me of 2 other things I was taught, when
removing a pulley or
similar from a shaft. If using a puller tool, don't stand in line with
it. If it releases suddenly, it will fly off and hit you. For large
pullers and parts, broekn ribs, etc are a distinct possibility.
My brother broke his nose with the back of his own hand when a similar
assembly "let go" suddenly. He was working at eye-level vs
bench-level, but it's the same principle - don't stand with body parts
blocking the axis of removal.
