so i was scratching my head trying to figure out how to get the damn wheel bearing races out of the hubs....after some hard thinking i got them out by doing this...
using the tig welder with a balled tungsten, welded a bead (without filler rod) 360 degrees around the bearing race...afterwards i slammed it on the table upside down and the bearing races fell out ( a few i had to barely tap out with a punch, but it moved about half way so i could EASILY get a punch in there...)
pic of what i did and pic of the after math! works like a charm and i suggest it to everyone with the tools to do so....1/16 tungsten @ 130amps moving pretty fast just to spread the heat around, wear mig gloves on both hands...have the hammer and punch ready
