Need a bit of help guys.
I've done DSM wheel bearings before, but never had this problem...
Front bearing race is stuck in hub and my 12ton Harbor freight press is flexing and making me uncomfortable (even after tried torching it with a map gas torch)trying to push it out. I'm having difficulty getting the hub to sit flat on the press.
Tomorrow I plan to heat the hub up in the oven at 400º and then use dry ice on the race to see if I can loosen it that way.
In case your wondering my local machine shop refused the work stating "these are a pain in the ass".
Any other ideas?
