im helping my buddy with some wagoneer axles and had taken off the hubs but the inner wheel bearing didnt come off with the hub. problem is the bearings are kinda new so he wanted to save them and im no expert on taking stuck things off and still being able to still use them. normally id either cut or heat it off now cutting it off clearly you cant use it but i worry about heating it up too much and screwing with the temper of the steel. should we just suck it up and buy new ones (my idea) or is there a better way?

Kind of new and stuck makes me think it's not the correct bearing!

Sooo, when you pulled the hub off, the inner wheel seal and bearing stayed on the spindle? I'm betting he didn't grease 'em properly and spun it on the spindle. You could try a puller. But I suspect the bearing and maybe the spindle are toast.

I'm going with cappa on that one.....
if it sliped on easy and wont come off it had to of gotten hot or the spindle could be the problem from the last one.
