hub bearing removal!!!!

(1/2) > >>

Paulsou:
Just went to remove hub to exchange hub bearing, only to find that the outer bearing has welded itself to the shaft, i have broken hub puller, tried chiseling but will not move, anybody got any ideas how i can get the hub off without damaging it, all ideas welcome, the neighbours are getting fed up with the cursing.

TDi90:
tell the neighbours not to complain unless they know a better way of doing it  8-[
basically just keep chissling... it WILL come. just takes a bigger hammer!
careful grinding? or at least to start off the groove for the chisel?
hope this helps, Rob

hobbit:
You could trying to heat the bearing racer up a bit in  conjunction with the chiselling, might do the job

My other option if it was me would be to replace the whole unit complete (then you can strip off the good bits later and throw the hub away), but then I can get access to complete hubs

Disco-Ron:
BE very careful when chisseling the bearings..... they have been known to shatter, and when they do, bits fly..... and they are VERY sharp!!!!!

Disco-andy:
In the past iv resorted to putting the wheel back on with the hub nuts off and laying on my back and kicking like hell, which worked. just make sure its all supported well.
worth a try!
