I do not recomend heating them up unless you want to buy a new wheel bearing......heating of the hub tends to f**k the wheel bearing. Just soak that biatch in some wd-40 get a long ass breaker bar and hope for the best.

Why don't you just unbolt the upper and lower control arms and flop it to the side?

Thats what I did on the passenger side of my car cause it wouldn't come out. If you keep messing with it you might end up having to replace it. Of coarse it will eventually have to come out but, you know save it till it needs to be replaced.

try heat and a REAL IMPACT....like one that Chris Tucker has...it sounds like a HARLEY!!!

I had the same problem, but ended up rounding out the nut...I had to cut it off....THAT WAS A BITCH!!


GOOD LUCK!

i would do the flip down thing but the axel has to come out of the hub because the teg axels have to go in i didn't think id need a new wheel bearing because of the heat. because doesn't it get hot anyways?

I would think the heat from a torch would burn up all the grease and if not regreased the bearing would go bad. But, I don't think it would ruin the bearing on its own. But, I'm not sure.
