I developed a small oil leak out of my rear axle, took the axle out. I'm trying to figure out how the bearing comes off the axle so I can replace the seal. I got the lock nut off that is supposed to keep the bearing on the axle. Now, it seems the bearing should slide off, but it be stuck.
I've had it in the vise, and smacked it a bunch of different ways... any ideas?
I'm thinking heat, but I'd like to not torch the seal. Is the bearing pressed on? or should it slip off easily?
