Re: Need help replacing wheel bearings

I've fought that fight a time or two. You are doing exactly what I would do but you may have to heat the race to get it off. I don't think there is much worry about the wheel cylinder as you can get the race hot enough to expand it a bit pretty quick. just concentrate the heat from the torch on the race.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
