Re: 1982 C 10 outer wheel bearing race removal

I had a similar issue on mine...I was able to grind a long punch tip at an angle to hook the edge of the race. There wasn't enough bite to drive it out so I used a propane torch and heated the casting area outside to inner bearing boss. I heated it evenly around for about 15 minutes or even longer. Then I flipped it over and began to work the race outward with the angled punch enough to get a brass drift onto it to finish driving it out....I have been successful with this method more than once.....if you decide to try this, do it outside, the old grease will burn and smoke something nasty
Good luck
