Bronze punches help.

It’s on the Spindle you can’t use any punches

If you have a welder you can weld a bead around the race, should expand and make it easier to pull off. Or as others mentioned a bearing puller

Front tire? If so you could possibly use the steering rack as a press, turn the wheel one way and get a punch etc behind the bearing and against something else immovable, turn the wheel very small amounts to press it off.

Post a photo. They're all a little different. Let us see it and somebody will brainstorm something that works.

The metal is to soft to use a punch

Wheel bearings should be a light slip fit on the spindle. The preload is adjusted by the castle nut and locked into position with a cotter pin or other locking device like a lock tab washer. Do you have a picture of what you are referring to?

Depending on how long the spindle is put it in a freezer for an hour slightly heat the bearing and it will slide off but do it quick with someone helping and don't over heat the bearing. It will slide right off the opposite for putting them on.

I assume you're talking about a typical wheel bearing setup on a car/truck.the bearing inner race that sits on the spindle is a slip fit. It'll slip right on, and you can probably turn on the spindle by hand, but with the weight of the vehicle on it the race won't turn on the spindle. That means if you slightly mark the spindle, no harm no foul as long as you're mangling it like a gorilla. A little tiny knick from a cutoff wheel won't hurt anything. Just cut the bearing off with a cut-off wheel, being very careful to not go too deep. If you don't want to mess up the spindle at all, cut just about all the way through the inner race, and then hit it with a chisel and hammer. It'll crack and then slide right off.

Get behind it with a chisel and wedge it off.

I don't understand the dilemma. Did you forget to put the grease seal behind it? If you need it off, torch it. How much downtime are you accumulating over a $15 bearing?


For by grace are you saved by faith, and not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.
