front wheel bearing tip

[flint]

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but hope it might be helpful to someone. I've been doing front wheel bearings on my 95. First one went fairly smoothly, but while pressing out the hub from the other bearing, the outside inner race broke through and stayed on the hub shaft leaving the outer race in the carrier. I used the old trick of putting a ring of weld (I used a mig with quite a bit of welly) around the inside of the outer race, let it cool and it came out on the press without too much pressure. On the inner I cut (carefully) a diagonal slot in the race almost down to the shaft and gave it a good whack with a cold chisel, this made it reasonably easy to slide off the shaft. No pics I fear, camera u/s.
