Featured Replies

well he we are again ...insert big smile.....got bad rear wheel bearings on the back drivers side .....so how do your remove the stub ,the rear axle. from the housing ? its been a few years ..have it pressed out ? or use a bearing puller to push it through ?  i no know...Merry Christmas guys  

Same as L series and BRAT. 

I hammer them out with a mallet and a piece of hard wood.

I've actually had to do both sides at different times over the last two months. One I was able to use a method similar to what el_freedom said and the other had to be pressed apart it had seized so bad.

I use a steel punch and go around little by little.

 

Good luck,

Here is something that will help when installing the new bearing.

Put the new bearing it the freezer. It will shrink a tiny bit.

After the old bearing is out, use a sanding drum in a drill to remove rust.

Heat the housing with a heat gun or a small torch. It doesn't have to be red hot.

The new bearing should slide into place with very little force.

I did this years ago on my 84 Dodge Rampage. I had the front knuckle turned outward with the opening facing slightly upwards and when I released the bearing it dropped into place. No hammering.
