Siezed Wheel Bearings?

[charlie211]

I had a front wheel bearing go bad on me and my new bearings just came in. I tried poping out the old ones but to no avail. I am mean I seriously beat on this thing with everything I could think of and they hardly budged. It got to the point where I was no longer concerned with perseving the spacer and the gentle tapping went out the window. I tried soaking them in WD-40, pulling on them, stabbing them, twisting them and punching on them as well, but still nothing. Any suggestings?

Heat works wonders...

get a propane torch and heat up the hub and try again. when going back with new. heat the hub and freeze the bearing. they'll drop in, almost. :D

I appreciate all the good advice...

I will definitely put it to use in the future, but for now I just went ahead and got a used hub assembly with bearings already good to. It seems that the new and creative ways I have tried to forceably remove the hell spawn of bearing in the old hub, was more than it could bare. I was its Hucklyberry...

Thanks fellas...
