<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Bright","serif"">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Bright","serif"">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?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
