I need to remove the wheel bearing. It is in there super tight and I'm not sure what to do. I tried one of our bearing pullers to pull it out. But the screw on it put a hold through the piece of steel I used to brace it. I also tried heating up the axle housing and then using the bearing puller.... no go.... Anyone got any bright ideas? Do I need a bigger better bearing puller? Thanks

i've never really seen a wheel bearig puller but is it possible to get a slide hammer on it? that may work.

You'll have to take it to a shop to have pressed off and the new one pressed on.

Take it to a shop huh........ ....It's all taken apart in my garage and don't feel like putting it all back together because I think I might of damaged the old bearing by trying to remove it. Thanks....Any other ideas/miracles

I use a slide hammer with a 'L' shaped tip, you have to pull a little on each side at a time. Before I had the hammer I used a long rod and beat them out from the opposite side. They are in there pretty tight and have to be driven/pulled almost straight out..

I just treid a slide hammer and it's not budging. I even heated up the axle housing to maybe get it to expand a little, no go . I think unless anyone else has suggestions, I'm gonna throw it all together and take it to a shop. Any other ideas?

Don't risk it, just have a buddy take you nad the axles to a truck service area (big rigs, etc) and have them press the old ones off and put new ones on.
