D1 wheel bearing ONLY oil conversion

I have an old brake rotor, I'll bolt that to the hub then I'll have something to belt with a heavy hammer.

Well the hub is stuck on, the inner race has welded itself to the stub. I've tried a bit of banging and clanging with no luck and sprayed some penetrating fluid in it but no luck. I've tried pulling each roller out so I can at least the the hub off, but I just can't get the bearing open enough to get then out. Any suggestions other than heat and slide hammer I don't have access to these. Heat I have an LPG torch bit I don't think it will get hot enough.
I was thinking of unbolting the whole swivel and trying on the bench or rig up a press.
Any thoughts?
Cheers Jim

I had a RRC do this years ago i just belted and belted till the bearing fell apart and the hub came off but left the collar welded to the stub [bigsad]

Then simply a 1mm cutting disc i carefully cut the collar almost to the stub then used a cold chisel to split it and remove the rest of it .

The with some patience cleaned up the stub with a flap disc and file and some happy motoring for a couple of years till some other sucker purchased the car.

You might not be lucky enough to save the stub so be prepared just in case [wink11]

I actually just managed to get it off! I bolted an old drum up to the hub and belted the crap out of it, a few more hits and drum would have shattered it's full of cracks now . Same as you the collar and half the inner bearing is stuck on still. I'll tackle it tommorow with the grinder hopfully the stub survives the carnage!
Cheers
