No I don't have the puller that does it. I took off the rooler cage and ground a grove in the inner cone and smacked it hard with the cold chisel being very careful of the pinion shaft. I heated it very carefully. It hasn't budged.
What do I do?

I got it off! Massive carefull brutality! You almost have to grind through the whole race being very carefull not to grind into the pinion or shaft - not easy!

i usually take it to a local shop. they pull it off with a press for 10 bucks.

i guess i'm just lazy.

i took mine to Kohlweiss in redwood city. i work in Menlo Park so it's just a lunch time mission.

there is a place in santa cruz that does it though. i found them in the yellow pages. i called them on a saterday once but ended up not going there because of some other reasons. they were going to charge 10 bucks as well.



edit: i just found it. "Central Coast Four Wheel Drive" 475-0241 the guy i talked to on the phone seemed real cool. i just had too much stuff to do that day and ended up not going there.
