Well you listen to me you get your dremel and grind it out like i told you when i was over.

If you do not want to cut it out you will need a bearing/bear puller.

You should find one at the local auto parts store.

Some sort of penetrating oil would not hurt either.

I assume you have the outer race only stuck in your bearing carrier. Your buddy is right, a Dremel or preferably a die grinder with a burr type bit will cut through it and allow you to get it out. Be careful not to get into the aluminum of the bearing carrier. I have had to do this to my rear bearing once and recently to one of my front wheel bearings. I re-install them with a little anti-seize compound so hopefully next time they will come out easier.

You can alway lightly heat the race with a torch and then tap it right out. Always works for me. Don't tap the carrier it will break!
