Seriously. Life. Savor. I mean.. Thank you so much. 2009 F150, wheel bearing failure.. Whining grinding the whole enchilada. Last time we replaced the It was A NIGHTMARE Due to the fact it was stuck and we didn't have a puller.. Luckily we found a friend who let us borrow one.. He lived an hour away from us and our vehicle was the one being worked on. Needless to say it was tricky getting to him. Fast forward to now.. And what do ya know?? The left front wheel bearing is going out now...

Outstanding.

I did this on my e36 318i rear bearing a few years ago. Let me tell you, this method totally works! No need for special tools.

[ovonicmcfarlan]

i used a dremel tool to cut a slice in the race and it came off easily. been doing this for 30 years. good tip.

[alexrossmann]

You're a hero. I was struggling with a chisel and all sorts of other methods for hours. Quick X cut and it popped right off.

[tommagnum]

Thanks for this valuable tip! I followed your technique and was able to remove the stuck rear bearing. Your video saved me the hassle (and cash!) of having to bring the trailer to a pro shop. --a friend in Idaho.

Thanks man just took off a rear wheel hub and bearing on a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta TDI MK5 this got stuck on I almost just bought a very expensive puller luckily I had a angle grinder and I was able to cut it off thank you my friend

[defmoon]

Did this with a dremal and .5" cutting blade. Worked like a charm and was quick and easy. Thank you!!

[jsboening]

Great tip!! I only wish I’d found your channel yesterday. It would have saved me from having to buy a bearing separator.

[keithpanzer]

Thanks. My daughter has always called me Mr fix It and I've got plenty of room in my bag for a nice tricks like this look forward to other clever ideas that you have thank you

[keithsmith]

Worked perfect for me. once it was cracked it slid right off. minor nick that polished out with 2, 000 grit. Thanks again for sharing and making the video. Keep up the good work.

[islandaerial]

Great info! Used it on an inner race stuck on a bike rear axle. I used a Dremel and a fibre cut off wheel
Popped right off. Didn't even have to get close 👍

[gerrykompleski]

Thanks. This process was fast and easy to remove races from Mazda RX8 hubs.

[Mathilda]

Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge 😊 This has immediately worked, the bearing didn't crack, but I could use the X to chisel the bearing out in a couple of hits

[tysonsutherland]

Had my inner wheel bearing race stuck on the seal cover from my dirt bike. I was attempting to cut vertically, didn't think of doing it diagonally. Thanks for helping me out!

[castrolgtx]

Being doing it that way for years, keep the videos coming Ger👌💥

[rdstang]

Thank you sir, I'll be applying this method to remove the inner bearing race from the input bearing shaft for my transmission, greatly appreciated 🙏

[caryadams]

Worked great . Cracked on second hit . No damage done to hub.

[mr.grillo]

This worked for me on a big Ole bearing on a GLOBAL STREET SWEEPER....thanks for the help mate

[jimroe]

Another way to remove the inner bearing ring with risking damaging the hub, is to heat the ring with a propane torch, it will expand and fall off or slide off easily.

[MiracleMAX]

Good job Gerard.
I haven't heard of cutting an X before, but heaps of other methods. I'll have to give it a try next time.
Cheers 😁
