Gumball89 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Right my drivers side rear wheel bearing has welded itself to my stub axle due to failing what are my options I've tried hitting it with a hammer ect ect part of the bearing has broken off but its defenetly 100% welded on so my question is is there anyway to get the stub axle off i cant see so new axle what my best option?

WallaceGlanza Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 A set of pullers and heating and cooling should get it off, changing the whole axle because of that is pretty drastic! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
