Does anyone have a trick to remove the bearing from the trailing arm without ruining it?
I ran into a problem while doing my 5 lug conversion. |

To add to the chorus. The very act of pressing the hub from the bearing destroys the bearing, as the inner race comes out with the hub. If by some chance it doesn't, there's something wrong with the hub, as the "press fit" isn't.

Hey Wes,
If it sits for 17 years in a dry climate you might be cool. In the South, they sit for 5 years in the humidity and you break off 3 studs in a hub just trying to get the damn wheel off... Um, from what I've heard..I wasn't here, I don't know that person who had that issue (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) "...Hijack Free Zone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ..."
