Hey, I was recently strippping out my car and cleaning, when I noticed that the bigger bearing is stuck in my aluminum rear hub carrier. Any ideas on how to get it out? Thanks a lot

a flat headed screwdriver from the other side.

I've been trying that, but still no luck. I then tried some silicon based lubricant, and it still doesn't work.

soak it in WD-40 and use some gentle persuasion with a hammer and wooden dowel.

apparently it is!! Thanks a lot man... Worked great. Just heat it up for about 30 seconds, remove a bit, heat up, remove some more, heat up, its out! I also used a flathead once it was hot. Thanks again ImBroken!
