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?

 

Take a page out of the Book Of Don and use a front end loader.

longer cheater/breaker bar... pb blaster take off the brake drum to get to the threads... torch up the bolts to help break it free...

 

Bring your car here, we have a plasma cutter if that dont work

 

^^That'll do it.

 

Yeppers...

and if you havnt noticed, new siggers

 

I feel honored. Ian, stop messing with it for now, have a beer and then try again.

 

Pee on it.

 

try heating the just the spacer with a torch. the metals expanding at different rates might break it free

 

by far best idea in thread

it ____ed you off ____ on it

 

There's the odd chance that some 'break free' penetrating solvent might help break it free is left on long enough to weaken the corrosion bond.

Good luck.

 

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.

 

how much shipped to 50312?

 

I still think pee is the best solution. Just sayin.

 

The question hasnt been asked yet, just how big of a hammer were you using? is there a possibility you may have a bigger one laying around

 

keep soaking it every day

longer you keep soaking it the easier it should come off

 

I Just got home from Menards with a propane torch. I'll get that little bish off.

 

and just remember, an accidental fire is covered by your insurance!
