So my rear left wheel bearing is shot. I have 500 miles left on the warranty.
Unfortunately, I'm quite sure that if the dealership saw the hub spacers, they wouldn't honor the warranty on the bearing.
So I tried removing them. Should be pretty easy, unless the spacer fuses with the back of the hub. This friggin thing isn't moving. I've been beating the hell out of it trying to get it to budge and it just won't go anywhere.
Anyone have any brilliant ideas on how I can remove it?

It's been soaking in PB Blaster for the last several hours. I put it all back together...
I'm going to go get a blow torch and take it apart on Saturday. Fingers crossed!
At this point, I don't even care about salvaging the spacers... I'm wary of putting them back on after seeing what a Chicago winter will do to them.

longer you keep soaking it the easier it should come off
