Dana 60 spindle bearings

What is the best way the get the old bearing out of my spindle, so I can install the new one? I managed to get the wheel bearing races out of the hub, but the spindle looks harder (cramped!).

drive a small screw driver on the outside of it, then progress to a chisel to make it deform, then you can pry it out

Can that be accomplished without hurting the spindle? I've tore up enough parts this week! Thanks for the help.

I use a piece of 7/16 square stock slightly bent at the end. I stick it through the hub end and tap it out like you did the other bearing races. Nothing to it.

Yup, just drive it out. Its all the angle of the dangle. You can keep the old one to drive the new one in, just like you do with the races.

But be careful....If the angle of the dangle, does not equal the mass of the azz, things could get hairy, and nobody wants that.

Thanks for all the info. I'm upgrading to 35 spline stub shafts and can't wait to get it back together.

Also, don't forget that the angle is also inversely proporional to the heat of the meat. Anywhere close (angle-wise) is close, but be careful, too much angle equals a not-so-hot situation!!!
