wheel bearing stuck on stub axle

<< < (2/2)

Tommo:
ye well tommo's truck has been towed twice more since then!!!

just bin the stub axle and fit a new one. the chances are that if the bearing has welded its self to it then the stub axles is fubared anyway.

Range Rover Blues:
I'd bin the stub axle anyway, the surface is damaged so a new bearing won't seat properly and might itslef seize on.  If you have to get the old one off then just bust it up with a cold chesel, wear eye goggles though as the bits are very sharp.

I was told that if you electric weld to a bearing race the hardened metal will crystalise and become brittle, but I just prefer LR special tool#1, BFH :)

GOT IT OFF, had fun with the gas axe this afternoon.
