wheel bearings

Hello again... next problem

Its about time I sorted the squeel coming from the drivers side wheel. So i tried taking the hub of to see how the bearings are.... and there non existent! Possibly should have done this before now!

Anyway the inner race of both bearings has seized onto the stub axle sleeve. I was able to pull the hub and outer race off, which should tell you how bad the bearings were!

But now im abit stuck, i can possibly pull the first off but can't get the arms of puller behind the second. Am i missing something, are they actually supposed to stay on there?

tack43:
Try using an angle grinder tomake a flat area either side of the stub and chisel off. Obviously be careful not to dammage the stub. If it won't shift a new/recycled stub may be required.

POTASH:
mine did the same thing, i ended up putting another stub axle on

anaxemurderer:
hmmm yeah had a feeling i would need a new stub axle. They expensive?

Guess i'll have a go with the angle grinder first

No they aint, and I have a couple in Winchester if you need it. You can also try cutting through it with a grinder, and then it releases the pressure on the stub.
