Removing rear axle race
Hi,
I've removed my half-shaft for bearing re-greasing, and half got new inner seals as well. On one side, I quite easily got the race out, but on the other it is stuck. Is there a trick for getting this out? Thanks

you mean the taper half of the bearing which sits in the axle casing ? That is a loose fit , if you tilt it when pulling it out by hand it will jam . It is certainly not a press fit ...

I've tried using a seal remover and it's not budging, think I'll just grease the bearing up and put the axle back in. THanks

You say that, but the seal has done 380.000 miles and the whole thing was a bit too oily for my liking.

I cant remember , can you change the inner seal without taking the cone bearing shell out? I wouldn't worry as long as the outer seal is dry , they did not use an inner seal at all on the older models .
