Truck is done wheel well fixed and we did the bearing. Brian called it we had to use the torch. The acetylene wasn't working so we busted out the big guns and did the Oxy/Acetylene Torch with the four flame tip and then it came out like butter, Truck is finally back to normal.

Not exactly a hard job but not fun either, I soaked the axle nut in WD-40 and let it sit for 20 minutes before removing, made it way easier. Used a breaker bar and a pipe over that lol.

Well today the ABS light came on again and now it's the other side rear, LOL!

this is why I always do them in pairs. Seems like if you don't the other side is always right behind.

Sorry for the bad luck

Round 2 done both rears are brand new now, this side was not fun. Then again nor was the other side.

And one of my rears started to grind today. Ordering up 2 new rears but no ABS light which is surprising

Good luck and use acetylene like bb recommends it's the only way

I have acetylene here but I'm hoping I don't need to use it. I have a piece of unistrut here I use for stuck wheel bearings. Over the studs, couple lug nuts on and few blows with a sledgehammer usually does it.

the thing about these bolts that hold the hub on is that they are tight coming all the way out, not just breaking them loose. And a few aren't real easy to get to

A quick hit with the torch makes the job a LOT easier. I would not do it any other way

Before I started I sprayed some kroil from the back side into where the bearing goes through the knuckle. Well by the time I got everything else out the kroil had worked it's way through. 3 quick smacks with a mallet and it fell right out. This was the original bearing so I didn't expect it to come out so easy but the kroil did it's job. I have the second bearing (Passanger side)here that I want to do but don't have time today so hopefully the weather stays nice and I can do it over the weekend.

I tried Kroil didn't work for me

the flame wrench ALWAYS works

BFHs always achieve success, too.
