Outer bearing seized to spindle question
I am trying to disassemble a front axle on a 71 K-10 and on one side the inner race of the outer bearing is stuck or frozen to the spindle. The bearing had failed for lack of grease and has been very hot when it seized on the spindle.
I am a little hesitant to apply a torch to the bearing because of the "kickback" from blowing into a hole. Any tips on how to remove the bearing so that the rotor can be removed would be appreciated. Jim
