Wanting to replace my wheel bearings and I am having a hard time getting my wheel hub off. I have taken out all the lock nuts, etc and wondering if there is some kind of locking o-ring, or the bearing is just frozen on, etc. If so, do I need to get a wheel hub remover (wench type or slide hammer type) to get the wheel hub off.

Does any one have any ideas?

 

As long as you've removed both locknuts inside, you should have no problem sliding the rotor right off.

 

I have removed all the lock nuts - I am now looking for a hub puller (

Thanks for the reply )

 

If you took the hub off with the lock nuts and the caliper the rotor/spindle assembly should just fall off on your feet, w/o a puller.

 

I took all the ock nuts and niuts, including snap rings, etc, I beleive the hub/rotor outter bearing is froze on the spindle, which is why I need a puller (

Any suggestions will help ;O)

 

If it's really frozen, then try hitting the bearing with a hammer and a punch - or maybe lightly with an air chisel?

I don't know if "lightly" and "air chisel" even belong in the same sentence - but surely you get the idea.

 

LOL - thanks for the idea - i'll let you know how it goes )
