OK people...I know someone has had this issue.
I installed a Repair Right Rear wheel bearing in order to get the car home from SCCA solo nationals...I now have a new axle, new bearing and wheel seal ready to go in the car but I cant get the old one out. Slide hammer + bearing puller = broken bearing puller at the moment. Other than taking apart the other side and removing the diff in order to run a big freakin piece of pipe in and beating it out the other side...any suggestions??? I might try to heat up the axle tube with a torch to loosen things up....but then i got to get another bearing puller. Any ideas? |

Sounds like a great reason to use the "regular" rear wheel bearings and not the "repair" bearings which are wider and are meant to compensate for a groove in the axle.
Sorry to hear the problems continue, John. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
