ghostbuster Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I believe I have a wheel bearing prob on LH rear so I've started the job, ball joints came off after reasonable effort but I can't get the Wheel mounting hub (the one with the studs) out of the darn bearing, and boy have I tried. Any ideas? I think its got warm or hot at some time as the inside where the splines are was dry and a just few signs of very light rust so I'm thinking where the hub fits into the bearing is the same. I've tried one of those sliding weights but all that seems to be doing up to now is making more play in the actual bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Sounds like you might need a complete new hub, these take some serious pressure to get out sometimes using a proper press Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to remove anything other than the disc, its not that hard a job to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
