Sorry to post on this again I am not sure of some details. I know the recommended method to get the old bearings out is to destroy the old bearing and lay down a bead but I don’t have a welder. I rented a puller but I am having doubts.
My old bearings are looking old and corroded around the edges. I am worried that if I try to use the puller I am going scratch up the axle housing using the puller.
Also there is a washer behind the bearing. Do I use the puller behind the washer and pull them both out together? Or do I try to tap the washer back and out of the way. It looks like the puller would destroy the washer first before it would ever get the bearing out? See other threads don’t even mention the darn washer.
