seph234:
thanks for the replies, ive taken the stub axle off now and im going to attack it in my vice in the garage looks like i might be swearing a little, what a lovely job this is :lol: . ive then got to set about my taper bearings on the housing and replace the seal. lovely! ](*,)

Disco Inferno:
in my experience just buy a new stub axle.
Chances are if the bearing collasped there'll be a nice score in the seal seat of the stub axle so it'll let crud in,

But they are sooooo expensive!!!!

Seph, if you have taken it off, you'll get it off in the vice Im sure!!

Worth a try anyway  :wink:

Xtremeteam:
to get it off,take a grinder with a fine cutting disc fitted & cut across the race,it makes it a long cut but go round the hub,dont cut 90 degrees to the axle face if you know what i mean,cut nearly sll the way through then get a fat sharp chissel & malky it & it should crack & come off,BUT if it has been spinning on the stub it will make a weld better than any man made device & will need a new stub axle

Mark2Disco:
i had the same problem a few weeks ago
so got new stub axle, wheel bearings and all the seals delivered next day for £50.00

i think the guys name was sam and was very helpful
good luck
Mark
