Good tip.  |
No, the air chisel is not much good until the bearing starts to move. I usually pound on the wheel flange ( the part his slide hammer pulled out). A few full swing good whacks with a heavy hammer knocks 99 % of them loose, then I either tap them out with the hammer , or air chisel.
If you think this one is tough, you should try to get one out of a rusty f 350.
I probably do at least 3-4 wheel bearings every week. Routine business. I have to do a set on an older 4 runner this morning. The owner started doing them himself, then gave up.
Hopefully today is a better day for you Pavulon. Once you have the upright out, you will be able to get a good clean swing at it, and it should pop right out. It is a rare occasion when I need a press to get them apart.
