Title: Front Wheel Hub
Post by shooshyneman on Jul 30^th, 2013, 7:58pm

Fitted a second hand wheel hub and sensor because last years advisory was worn noisy wheel bearing. It was, very!, especially round corners!
So this year he has failed it on a rough bearing. Its as quiet as a mouse.
Cant argue. On the old one. Have split the spindle from the bearing, but part of the bearing has broken as Mr. Ford said it would, and part is stuck on the spindle. How do I get it off?? Heat? still havent pressed out the rest of the bearing from the Hub. Do I get a new bearing and continue? do I try and get another hub and abs sensor (my parts supplier "sierra shack" on ebay doesn't have many scorpio bits left)
Does any one have one (see parts wanted.)

If you mean the bearing track is stuck on the spindle, careful persuasion from a hammer and a cold chisel against the lip on the track might shift it but be aware that the bearing track is hardened and with chip easily so safety goggles are a must and probably cover the bit you are trying to remove with some rag to catch anything.
Usually it is easier to replace the complete hub with a s/h part as the ABS sensor is easily damaged.
Which side are you after...I'll check me stash ;)

carefully cut through it. it will relieve the stress on it and should pop off

N/S/F wheel hub
Matt is correct bearing track is stuck on spindle cutting through it not so easy as it will probably damage the spindle

You dont need to cut all the way through, so long at a good chunk is cut you be able to stress fracture the rest with a chisel or bit of bar hitting it on the edge of the slot youve just cut
