Any pointers on getting the stuck race off the fucking hub?
I have a hunch I'm looking at the same shit on the other side.

small cut off wheel? Die grinder/dremel size. not sure if it would work, seems I don't get real imaginative about the fix until the problem is staring me in the face.

I was gonna heat it, see if it slides off...but I gotta say, I'm not too thrilled with heating something as important as the hub. I'm kinda freaked out, in fact, that the only thing that really even keeps the wheels on the car, by design, is the press fit of the bearings.

Tap it with a drift and it will fall right off. Reverse the process to put the new one in; chill the bearing, don't heat the hub; keeps from damaging the dirt shields on shielded bearings.

I just don't know what's worse, the cold applied to the hub, or the collateral heat from heating the race to get it off. Bottom line; temperature does shit to metal no matter what. ![]() Not thrilled with the fact that a press fit is all that holds the wheels on the car...but I guess that's the deal. I hate FWD cars. What a colossal bad idea.

Dumb question time. Is this hub actually meant to be rebuildable? I know there are some hubs that the bearings are pressed in at factory and when something goes out, its all new hub time.
If you're good with a torch, you can heat a spot on the race up just enough and hit the torch lever just enough to blow away a little at a time and not screw up the hub. I did this with my rear axles. The 1" wide spacers that are pressed on where giving me hell. Using a grinder and ending up sliding and getting into the axle didn't seem good. Yes I know using a grinder to get a spacer or race off on an axle is in probably every FSM. I had no problem heating up a line and just blowing a little off at a time.

Naturally, in the real world, things don't just go zip-zip-zip like they do in the instructionals (even with the fancy press tool). ![]() Quote:
Considering just getting two new ones, and saying "fuck it". Getting this shit off just sucks my ass. Quote:
I think I just need to get real good with a torch real fast.
