What I usually do is take one of the bolts that bolt the hub to the knuckle, run it about half way into the threads and beat the **** out of the bolt at each hole until it's worked free.

Now, you have to have a spare bolt to do that... The bolt won't be good anymore, obviously.

When you swap to a 44 this won't be an issue anymore.

 

dont think hes ever going to a 44 front... lol

 

That's what they all say.

 

Letting it soak in pb blaster for the nite

 

goodbye bearing... lol...

 

same thing as hitting it with a hammer... i did the same junk and learned the hard way... got it all back together when done and had all kinds of up and down play... this PUSHES on the inner part of the bearing and PULLS on the outer part... causing it to separate... you may be alright but thats just my experience with it...

 

Gotcha well i was out of ideas.

 

you try the 3/8 extension trick i gather

 

Acle is not under truck

 

Here's what ya do. Put the spindlenut back on it. Torque it down. Then beat the **** out of it with a hammer. The axle shaft and nut will hold the bearing together.

 

Got it out. Now just gots to hope i didnt eff it up.

 

so put extensio n in there and hit knucle from side to side ,i used a sharp chisel between backing plate and base of bearing worked for me

 

disregard last transmission ...

 

Awesome. Now ya just have to do it again.

At least you have power. Im sitting in the dark with 47 candles lit all around while the sky tries to beat the hell out of my house.
