Rear Bearing sutck on Axle.
Help!
OK, so it aint an RST, but the rear bearings are the same so don't flame me!
To cut the story short I now have the center of the 'outbound' bearing jammed on my stub axle.
The rollers and cage fell out in a tangled mess when I removed the hub leaving the center jammed fast on the spindle.
No amount of whacking, swearing (incl the C word!), will shift it.
It appears to have pretty much welded itself to the axle both in the center and at the edge of the conical piece that it buts up against.
Any ideas?
I cant be the first poor sod to have this happen... I certainly cant be bothered with replacing the stub axle though I can see its doable without too much hassle.
