Put the wheel back on, extra leverage might get it all sliding
Give the bearing & stub a good spray with WD40 then Bolt wheel back on then give the tyre a hit with a sledge hammer from the inside . Or lower the vehicle down onto the ground onto the wheel .
If you've got a decent piece of angle, drill a couple of holes to suit and you could block it to wind it off.
Thanks everyone. I've soaked it in wd40 and let it rest for a bit. Wheel back on. Pulled. Hit. Cursed. Lowered it down. Pulled. Twisted. Nadda. Ive just hit it with more wd40 and ill try again in a bithttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...90026e9dea.jpg
Works great! And for tyre beads!Quote:

With the wheel on, try spinning it, then tapping/belting the inner race with a cold chisel. The shock, with load should dislodge it.
As suggested, make a puller out of a bit of angle. If that fails you could remove the stub axle and set the assembly up with the hub supported on blocks, a suitable drift attached to the stub axle - and attack it with a big hammer. (Or take the assembly to someone with a press!).
I wonder if the outer bearing had seized (or partially seized) and the inner race then friction welded onto the stub axle.
Normally when you undo the nuts the bearing inner almost falls off the stub axle so something isn't quite right.

It spins around with the greatest of ease when I spin it.
But that doesn't do me any good when I'm trying to take it to pieces so I can clean it up and replace the bearings
:/
Tomorrow I'll bring it down off the stands and see if I can find another way to shift it.
The rollers themselves look to be in good condition, as in not deformed, so I'd think "they" are not that badly effected. I'm not sure what would actually "hold" it on so well if its all spinning well.
Does the wheel look to be on an angle at all? The only thing I can think of is if it has actually collapsed at the rear and worn a fair lip to which it is now catching on. If they weren't put on properly to start with, it could be it has just worn like that, without necessarily damaging the rollers themselves.
Put the car on its wheels gently as Weeds said, it'll probably dislodge at that point.
Hope that all makes sense.
I've had to fix a welded up unit before (old Valiant),, ended up having to replace the whole lot,, but had to give it a try first,, as you do [bigwhistle] Also had a bearing (ball type on an old trailer) completely collapse, still managed to get a few miles out of it, but alas [bighmmm]
