Use a three hooked gear puller / slide hammer to remove the hub.

Subject: [Healeys] Replacing Hypoid Axle Grease Seal

I am trying to remove the rear axle hub and wheel bearing to replace the oil seal located behind them.  After removing the axle shaft, retaining nut and lock washer, the photo shows the hub and bearing.

 

The inner race of the bearing seems to have an interference fit with the axle housing.  Can anyone tell me the proper method to remove the hub?  Can I use two long ¼ inch bolts in the threaded holes in the photo to “push” the hub out and then use an appropriate sized bearing driver to reinstall?

 

Best, 


Dan Corning
