Another breakdown, but why?
Leigh:
I was hoping that wasn't going to be the case. I'll try cutting it off and see what condition the stub axle is in before ordering a new one. What sort of price should I expect?
ade666:
paddocks will do you one next day for £50.00. you might find a second hand one local for less.

did you get it off leigh of not get the angle grinder and get it realy thin the with a sharp chissel hit it had and it should crack and go loose, mine did the same
Leigh:
Yep going to give that a go. Need it back on the road for Sunday :D
Range Rover Blues:
Hammer and cold chisel, WEAR GLASSES. If you have a grinder then weaken the race but don't grind through it.
Unfortunately you may well find the race has scored the stub axle and the new bearing won't go back on, try it before assembling the hub and don't push it on too hard or you'll be splitting the new one with the chisel too.
You can try to file the surface back down to smooth if it's not too bad but I'd consider this a temporary measure as resurfacing the stub axle is not a satisfactory fix and the potential heat damage in a safety critical component would give me cause for concern too. Best to buy a S/H part even if you refurb it with a new bearing (if fitted) and oil seal as some of the pattern parts are not as strong as LR originals.
